No, it doesn't in vfp5, but in vfp6, the hourglass should kick on after a few seconds.

In vfp5, I just added a message on the status bar indicating it would take a minute, and

_screen.mousepointer = 11 && hourglass

before all the slow things like that. In vfp6, you shouldn't have to change to hourglass (but the message is still a good idea).
