Is there any way to animate the hourglass pointer (make it turn over, etc.)?
This isn't really critical, but it would be nice to do since I have an
operation that takes a while to perform. Thanks for any help you can give
me.

The hourglass that you see is the one defined as the cursor theme on the PC;
change your cursor theme to the animated version.

Well that's far too simple. Don't you have anything more complicated you can
tell me?

Or perhaps you could recommend something to take egg off of face...

Thanks for the help.

I'm just glad you weren't wanting to know how to programmatically change the
cursor theme from within ACCESS... I don't know how to do that...!
