Bob,

This works for me in VFP6

_screen.MousePointer=99
_screen.MouseIcon="c:\windows\cursors\hourglas.ani"

>I am trying to change the mouse icon when the app will be busy for a while. I tried to use the approach from KB Q137627. This code uses the Win32 API, and almost works, but does not necessarily restore the original icon properly.

>Am I using the right approach, or is there a better way to handle this? If I am using the right approach, I can give more details on how the API is failing, if necessary.
