Changing the system default cursor

[Guest]

Ok all you Access VB programming gurus...
I know you can change the cursor to an hourglass (or whatever the system
default busy cursor icon is set to) with:

Docmd.Hourglass True
or
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass

But this changes it to what the system default is. Is there a way to change
the cursor in VB first as to have just a temporary busy cursor other than the
system default?

For example, the system default "busy" cursor is an hourglass. I would like
to change this in VB code temporarily to, say, the "horse.ani" icon while the
code is running, then change it back to the previous default setting of the
hourglass when the code is done. Oh, and the system OS would happen to be
Windows 2000 Pro if that makes a difference.

TIA
