SYMPTOMS
When you are working offline, if you remove a publication, the mouse pointer is continuously displayed as an arrow in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Even though the publication is being removed, the mouse pointer does not change to indicate activity. While the publication is being removed, you cannot click any Internet Explorer buttons.



RESOLUTION
Even though the mouse pointer does not change, the publication is being removed. Move the mouse periodically. Moving the mouse pointer over the Internet Explorer buttons can show when the buttons are active again, and when you can continue with regular activity.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 On an end-user client computer, make sure that you have installed Microsoft Office 2000, MSDE, Microsoft SQL Server SP1, and the client components (installed from the server computer). Set the server computer as a trusted site on the end-user client computer.For additional information about how to do this, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
