Hi Anders,

your solution wordk, bat some users, tehe nervous ones, click around and
you never know what happens then ... 

at Least we found a solution!

Uses "user32.dll"
  ShowCursor(siCursor CWORD) CWORD 
	; // Displays or hides the cursor.
endUses

method ... 
ShowCursor(False) 
itemSQL.executeSQL(db) 
ShowCursor(True) 

...
endMethod

works fine.

Thies
