Hi,

The code to change the mouse cursor to an hourglass is:

DoCmd.Hourglass True

To set it back to normal:

DoCmd.Hourglass False

You can also enter a message in the status bar using:

SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "The report is loading please wait..."

To clear the message:

SysCmd acSysCmdClearStatus
