Turn around Hourglass

awu
All:
I want to turn my hourglass around to indicate my program is still
running. I am using VBA with Excel and MS Access 2000.

So far I use DoCmd.Hourglass true and false to turn on/off hour glass.
Thank you in advance

You could use an animated cursor. Google for that.
If you don't find it I can mail you a nice one I have here.

The easiest way I found was to get the hwnd handle of the hourglass and
use BitBlt with SRCCOPY to copy each frame.

Dont forget to set form.timer = 100 to get a good animation.

You can use the progress meter, which would also give the use an ideal of
how long the process will run.

Hey all, This is a nitpick that I'd like to fix if possible... I have a form that submits to a page that does some intense DB queries, so the page takes about 30-45 seconds to load. Using Win2K, IE6, when the submit button is clicked, it looks like nothing is happening (unless you read the status bar and see the page opening text). Yet Netscape shows a little hourglass, indicating that processing is occurring. Is there a simple way to...

I want to turn error handling off, then back on in a sub routine that backs up a select set of documents. For some reason, I can't seem to get this to work - Private Sub BackupDocs() On Error GoTo HandleErr strBackupDir = "C:\BackupDir" On Error GoTo 0 ' isn't this supposed to turn off error trapping?

All - 2 questions, the answer to either one having the possibility of making the other a moot point: 1. I have a DB with a form that serves as a GUI to let the user browse for an XML file and import it, and I can't get Access to overwrite the tables when it finds them in existence. Can anyone tell me how to make this happen? I can't get the "OtherFlags:=1" option to work -

I have a procedure that takes certain time to finish. It is triggered by pushing botton, but a user can't see whether the procedure started or not, because Access starts showing hourglass cca 20 seconds after the button was pushed. I would like to add some hourglass or a message that would be present on the screen while procedure is runing. How to accomplish it ? Thanks.

This should be very simple but I can't figure it out or find ANYTHING posted about how to change your cursor to an hourglass. I have a ASP.NET web form using VB.NET code behind. When I click on a button I want the cursor to change to an hourglass and then change back to the normal cursor afterwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
