There is a cursor type and a cursor location that can be specified when you
open the recordset. A 'firehose' (forward-only, server-side cursor) is the
fastest type of recordset to request and traverse and is thus the default.

I don't know how the MoveFirst restriction is implemented - I would presume
an error is raised.
Hope this helps.

I hontestly have not tested the thought, but I figured if the user had
an real recordset, it would "have" the MoveFirst method even if it
generated an error when it was used. In other words, the MoveFirst
method is defined, but not allowed for Forwared Only recordsets. Does
this make sense?
