I'm actually converting an app from using BDE to IBX, it contains about 70
units, in the old BDE way, my code controls the mouse pointer to give the
user appropriate feedback (just like what you have described), and it worked
nicely.
Now I have commented all the "Screen.Cursor := " lines out from the code,
but it displays the cursor VERY baddly, especially when you try to retrive
data on MouseMove event, also you have no way to hide the indications of
background processes.

If you want to stop this, you need to change the source code - look for the
cursor being set.
This is no different to when using the BDE (sort of - the BDE uses a timer,
so only changes the cursor if things take too long (from memory - code is in
dbtables that does this)).
The reason this is done, is that if a query takes a long time eg 20 seconds
or more, then the user has feedback that something is being done - ie they
cannot do anything else (eg type etc (not quite true)) until the cursor has
gone back to it's normal shape.
You could do the same kind of thing that the TQuery etc do.
Myles.

Subject: [DUG]: How to stop mouse cursor from changing
Hi all,
The mouse cursor keeps changing when the app accesses the IB db using IBX, I
couldn't find any property that you can set to stop this from happening.
This has to be obvious but I'm missing something here, can someone help
please?
Regards
Cheng
