DoCmd.Hourglass True Not Working

[avolkert]

MS Access 2000 running on 2000-Pro, XP-Pro & XP-Home (Same issue on all platforms)

DoCmd.Hourglass True isnt' working on a form.

The VBA code for the form is a little on the "Overly-massive" side to post here, but the highlights are:

- Timer Event running (TimerInterval set to 5 min)
- Subforms
- RecordSets

It's mind numbing that it works on simple forms, but is there some hook that I'm missing ?

I've tried:

DoCmd.Hourglass True
DoEvents

and

DoCmd.Hourglass True
me.Repaint

Nothing seems to force the hourglass on.

Any help or tricks I can try is appreciated.

Have you tried stepping through the code to see what happens?
