MS Access, change icon if VB Script

[Jombi]

When using MS Access Forms and Reports, there is no way of knowing if some VB
script is running in the background. So it is difficult to tell the behavior
between views. It would be helpful if the icon representing the form or
report had a "sub-icon" in the navigation pane saying that there is script
running with the form.

I'm using the term "sub-icon" sort of like in Outlook when you have the
standard email message icon. Then a little purple arrow appears on the icon
if you replied to the message (a blue arrow appears when you forward a
message).

This would be incredibly helpful.

Functionality currently exists that allows you to change the cursor to an
Hourglass when code begins to execute and revert it back at the end. Also,
you do have the ability to update the status message. You can also provide a
popup progress meter if needed as well.

DoCmd.Hourglass [true/false]
