Extended Services Problem

Okay, folks, I've got a problem and the solution is eluding me.  Basically,
I'm writing a program that accesses the Database Manager (from Extended
Services) under OS/2 2.0.    However, I've been receiving the SQL Error
1024.  Looking at the _Extended Services for OS/2 Messages and Error Recovery
Guide_, I see that SQL1024N means "No START USING DATABASE command was
issued."  and it advises me to "issue a START USING DATABASE and resubmit
the command or statement."

However, the command to START USING DATABASE has already been issued
successfully.  Any ideas as to why this error occurs? 

Now, here's the clincher:  The error never shows up on my machine (PS/2 
80-111 w/ 16 MB and an 8514 Card) but always shows up on all of my 
co-worker's machines (ranging from a PS/2 80-111 w/ 8MB and VGA to
various clones w/ 8MB and VGA).  I don't see how this could be a VGA
problem, but could it be a problem with memory?  Is there a <shudder>
bug in the Extended Services?  This error has only started occuring
since switching from Extended Edition to Extended Services.  I would
hate to switch back to 1.3, but if I have to...  :^(

Any and all help would be vastly appreciated, since this is holding up
several people.  Please respond by e-mail, as our news feed tends to
stay ~6 days behind, and by next week, I'll be sitting in a padded cell
sucking my big toe and muttering "IBM, UBM, we all BM for IBM".

Thanks much!
