Max,
To be able to update a cursor either you should have exclusive access or everybody should be using it shared (another app or data session on your own computer also counts as someone else).
It might be stemming out from a various of reasons. First I would check combo-listboxes and grids. If there are and any one of them is using SQL source or an alias that is a result of SQL, check for any line trying to SQL select again into same cursor.
