I have a module that allows me to import data from a Word
Click to expand...
form into my Access database. I have a command button
control on a form that calls this module when you click on
the button. How can I change the cursor from a pointer to
an hourglass whilst the import procedure is running, and
then change back to a pointer when the task has finished?
 
It worked!

Thanks
