Thanks for the response. lets hope Microsoft fixes it. I am a bit perplexed on why there is only 1 public beta and no fixes will be posted?

As you state your (other) post suggested the solution. I just posted it so others would know it worked.

Writing a scx changer for fixes sounds good, but I am not sure how to do it.

s my personal guess it will be fixed. OTOH: if someone has lots of forms with many cursors it should be easy to write a tiny scx-changer. So if the behaviour isn't changed in the release version, I bet you'll find one in the DL area a few days after the release. If I stay with certain one of my current projects, I might do it myself <g>.
