    After working with some recordsets and SQL queries, my mouse cursor disappears, and will not return until I exit Access 2000. I do virtually identical recordset and SQL operations in many other places in this app without problems, and am not changing Echo, Hourglass or any Visible properties...

    INSERT INTO a table results of a TRANSFORM

    Thanks for the reply, oharab, but I don't understand. Where does the transform query reside while I'm appending? I guess I could run the query with DoCmd.OpenQuery, but I don't want it displayed onscreen. Could you give me a brief example of the code? Thanks. David 'Dasher' Kempton The...
