[AccessD] How to detect if Hourglass is true

If have a new user that loves to double/triple click buttons.

One procedure takes a few seconds to run.

I set the focus to the previous text box and display an hourglass as such:

Me.txtSN.SetFocus
DoCmd.Hourglass True
    'Do a bunch of stuff here
DoCmd.Hourglass False


I'd like to wrap an IF statement around it such as:

If Hourglass =False
  Me.txtSN.SetFocus
  DoCmd.Hourglass True
    'Do a bunch of stuff here
  DoCmd.Hourglass False
End if

Does anyone know of the correct call?

I guess I can set a hidden field to 1 and check that if needed, but I'd
like to see if I can detect the hourglass first.

I've also thought of sending signal out the USB port that will active a
solenoid that would
send a fly swatter towards the users face, slapping them, but I might get
in trouble for that one.

Any thoughts?

Thanks much,
David
