Change mouse pointer to hourglass, then back
I select a commandbox on a form that starts a sub with some time-consuming
loops; I want to change the mouse pointer to hourglass. I've tried this: MousePointer = fmMousePointerHourGlass lots of time-consuming code MousePointer = fmMousePointerDefault Application.ScreenRefresh No change in the pointer. Word 2003, XP Any suggestions?? -- L. Catlett |

MousePointer is a property of the command button, not of the window or
of the application. That means you *must* qualify it by prefixing it with 'CommandButton1.' or whatever the name of the button is: CommandButton1.MousePointer = fmMousePointerHourGlass lots of time-consuming code CommandButton1.MousePointer = fmMousePointerDefault Also, you'll see the hourglass cursor only when the mouse pointer is positioned on the button, not anywhere else in the form. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Change mouse pointer to hourglass, then back
Thanks! After making the change suggested, the mouse pointer only changes to
hourglass after I do a left mouse click somewhere on the screen. What can I do to make it change without doing the mouse click? By the way, after that mouse click to get the hourglass to show, the hourglass stays no matter where I am positioned on the screen. It only goes away if I change windows. -- L.

Change mouse pointer to hourglass, then back
I can't answer those questions without seeing the document or template
involved -- what the code looks like, and where in the structure the macro is stored. If you want to zip it and mail it to me, I'll take a look.
