Thanks Jonas
        That does what I want - almost.. Maybe I'm being stupid (it
happens!!)
I notice that if I set the busy mouse for a window, it only shows the busy
in 'unused' areas
of the window i.e moving the mouse over any defined fields (Buttons etc)
makes it revert to normal
then back to busy when I'm off a button.
    I also found that when I use it within a button click procedure (even as
the
first statement) it doesn't kick into life till after the following code
(which rather defeats the
object!). I even tried putting it in on down event for the button and on the
open event for
my 'Please Wait'.... Help!

Regards Pete
