Simple question - displaying mouse pointer

[rathi]

Hi everyone,

When I move from one form to another, no cursor is displayed. I want to display the hour glass cursor, when the next form is being opened.

I'm a beginner, so excuse my simple question.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

try this:

MousePointer = vbHourglass

then to turn if off

MousePointer = vbDefault

If you are a beginner, you may get caught out that the mouse does not change back from an hourglass if errors are encountered, I know I do ;-).

You will sool learn how to resolve this by placing MousePointer = vbDefault in the error_handler or something.

It's good idea to set the pointer for the whole screen.

In a CommandButton (In Form1)

Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
Form2.Show

In Form2's Load event

Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
