Control state of Egg Timer

[tacieslik]

Is it possible to use code to control the state of the Mouse/Egg Timer?
I'm running an OnTimer event every 750ms in my form and although the form functions perfectly, the egg timer is very annoying. It's made worse if the application is run on a lower spec PC. I guess this is due to processing time.

TIA

Hi,

This should do the trick (in the OnTimer event, if I correctly understand what you are seeing):

DoCmd.Hourglass False

HTH,
Keith.

Thanks Keith,

I've just found the following:

Screen.MousePointer = 1    'Only show windows pointer
Screen.MousePointer = 0    'Hourglass state determined by Access

This seems to to the trick although I'm sure your solution would have worked too.

Thanks,
