odbc 3.51 Invalid string or buffer length error

I’m using ODBC 3.51 to connect an ASP scripted site to MySql. I got very strange errors when calling the update function: “Invalid string or buffer length error”.
It turns out that the following line is mandatory for the ODBC driver:

The problem is the CursorLocation, the solution is that sentence

rs.CursorLocation = 3 or rs.CursorLocation = adUseClient

Just in case someone is pulling their hair out over this also…

Will version 3.51 ever update? I’ve seen this version for years and 5.1 has been in alpha for the same amount of time…
