[AccessD] How to detect if Hourglass is true

Sounds like you need to shorten the time interval that is used to detect double clicks.

My new Logitech mouse has been constantly double-clicking when I mean it to single-click. I hope I don't have to go your route!!!

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
