And if something went wrong what you do not knowing where the
mouse is. It is customary to have the mouse change to an hourglass.

A search turns up the following started with
cursor hourglass
then modified to
cursor hourglass xlwait

Does anyone know how to hide the mouse pointer during a sheet update
where normally it would flicker even if you turn screen updating off, i
want to hide the mouse pointer during an auto close and then turn it
back on at the end of the close so that its there for use again in
every other program.....I have tried the VB version of Showcursor but
it didnt seem to work!

Hoping you can help!

Simon
