Setting the Windows Cursor during Form Processing

[jeff]

hiya gurus

I would like to force the mouse cursor to immediately become an hourglass
when some long processing/quering commences on a form. it appears that it
takes some time for Access to show the hourglass and usually only after the
user clicks the form a couple of times because there appears to be nothing
happening...

Is there an easy way to do this from within Access..

I have done it in VB6 using Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass but this does nto
work in Access.. any suggestions?

cheers Jeff
