In the database ive created i set each button to change the mouse pointer to a finger when the user hovers over it, this is especially useful when i use fields to perform a script because it is not so obvious that they are buttons. Problem being that when i use developer to convert the database into a runtime solution this doesnt happen anymore, everything else seems to work ok, and its no big deal, but it would be nice if it still worked. Anyone got any ideas why or how i can stop it?

I use FMD6 and have no problems with pointer fingers in runtimes.

Your post reads as though you might be using straight FMP to do the developing and then using FMD to create the runtime?? I cannot imagine why you would do that but this could be the problem.

Is your FMD up to 6.0v4?
