Figure 1 One Way to Change the Cursor

 ========== Actual Code That Works ================
 function setCursorAll(argType)
 {//Sets the cursor to desired type
     var len = document.all.length
     //Intrinsic Objects
     for (var i = 0; i < len; i++){
         if (typeof document.all[i] == "object"){
             document.all[i].style.cursor = argType
         }
     }
     //3rd Party Objects
     if (argType == "wait"){
         userGrid.MousePointer = 11
     }else{
         userGrid.MousePointer = 0
     }
 }
 
 function fillGrid()
 {
     setCursorAll("wait")
     window.setTimeout("fillGrid2()",1)
 }
 function fillGrid2()
 {
     var rsObj
     var rs
     var recs = 0
     var cntr = 0
     var indx 
     
     userGrid.Enabled = false
     userGrid.Clear()
     userGrid.BulkUpdate = true
     window.defaultStatus = "Please wait --- Reading Data!"
     
     rsObj = document.ADS.createobject("MaintenanceMTS.CUserMaint",
         "http://<%=Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")%>" );
     rs = rsObj.GetUsersInfoAll()
     rs.MoveFirst();
     if (rs.Fields(0).name == "ErrCode"){
         alert("Error Code: " + rs.Fields("ErrCode").value +
             "  Error Description: " + rs.Fields("ErrDesc").value )
         return 
     }
     rs.MoveFirst()
         
     recs = rs.RecordCount
     while (cntr < recs){
         indx = userGrid.AddItem(rs.Fields("UserID").Value)
         userGrid.CellText(indx, 1) = rs.Fields("Name").Value
         if (rs.Fields("AcctMgrFL").Value == "true"){
             userGrid.CellText(indx, 2) = "Yes"
         }else{
             userGrid.CellText(indx, 2) = "No"
         }
         userGrid.CellText(indx, 3) = rs.Fields("OrgName").Value
         //Store corresponding OrgID 
         userGrid.CellItemData(indx, 3) = rs.Fields("DfltOrgID").Value
         rs.MoveNext()
         cntr++
     }
         
     userGrid.BulkUpdate = false
     userGrid.SortDependents(-1, 0, 0)
     userGrid.Enabled = true
     window.defaultStatus = gDefaultStatus
     
     setCursorAll("default")    
     
  }
