Point taken, in which case the former code shouldn't really be used, either, as it would be necessary to record the "default" mouse pointer for each control upon setting it to "hourglass". You'd want run a procedure like:

Dimension ThisForm.aMPHoldArray(ThisForm.ControlCount)
for i=1 to ThisForm.ControlCount
ThisForm.aMPHoldArray(i)=ThisForm.Control(i).MousePointer
ThisForm.Control(i).MousePointer=0
next

My experience has been that by the time you get done running code like that, you sure _better_ use an hourglass, 'cause your user's will be locked up for quite a while.
