Operating mode in OLE DB

If HActivateFilter is used when navigating through a data file, the navigation is stopped. To take the filter into account, you must navigate through the data file again with HReadFirst/HFirst or HReadLast/HLast.
The current position and all the stored positions are lost. The position will be restored according to the value of best item.
