ACC: Hourglass May Not Change After Illegal Function CallLast reviewed: August 29, 1997Article ID: Q93723 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSModerate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills. You can change the mouse pointer from an arrow to an hourglass with a user- defined function. If you encounter an illegal function or halt the code after setting the pointer to an hourglass, the hourglass does not change back to the arrow pointer. However, you can still open and close items by clicking them.
RESOLUTION
In Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0You can type "DoCmd.Hourglass False" (without the quotation marks) in the Debug window to get the pointer back.
In Microsoft Access versions 1.x and 2.0You can type "DoCmd Hourglass false" (without the quotation marks) in the Immediate window to get the pointer back.
STATUSThis behavior is by design. Visual Basic for applications (or Access Basic in versions 1.x and 2.0) will never reset Echo, Warnings, or Hourglass when run from Visual Basic or Access Basic. These are only reset when the last script runs.
MORE INFORMATIONBecause an illegal function call stopped the execution of the function before the command to reset the mouse pointer from an hourglass to an arrow could run, the mouse pointer remains in the hourglass state.
