    1. COWith no more detail in your question, what I can say is: If it seems to immediately change back to crDefault, maybe the code inside try clause is changing it back (or calling some code that makes that change) or maybe it uses some kind of asynchronous process, for example start another thread who in fact is the one that process the thing. So the program executes the finally part and changes the cursor back to crDefault _almost_ immediately.

    2. COJachguate> No what seems to be happening is that setting the cursor only has an effect when the application has proper focus - but any processes that happen outside the application - such as calling a DLL process or asking a scanner to scan (Note: I am scanning *without* any pop-up form that shows the scanner's progress etc etc) - then Windows restores the default cursor. So I think I need a way to set the cursor IN WINDOWS for all applications until my process is finished.

    3. CO"So I think I need a way to set the cursor IN WINDOWS for all applications until my process is finished" - That's a pretty bizarre requirement. It's only *your* application that's busy. why would you want other applications to appear to be busy when they're not?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
