Default Display hourglass problems

I have several areas within an Excel application where I want to display an
hourglass during a particular process. I have used the following, but the
cursor never changes to an hourglass. Is there some sort of refresh method
or something else I am supposed to do after setting the value to xlWait in
order to force the hourglass to appear?

Application.cursor = xlWait
'... some code here
Application.Cursor = xlDefault

Default Display hourglass problems

Maybe Application.ScreenUpdating=True could help...

That seems to have helped.

Is that an Excel option that is available in the Tools-Options, that I have
not found?
