Hi. There is a list of mouse pointers in the code vault. Thanks Richard. But there's nothing on hyperlink hand. I have a lot of short text in my database linking to the net as Richard say is the best way to do but I want to change the pointer to hyperlink hand on mouse move. Can you help? Thanks.
Best,
Masih

Unfortunately the list of pointers in the Code Vault is what Microsoft has built into VBA.  A very limited set of mouse pointers for sure. But that is what we are stuck with natively.  

There may be other third party apps out there that allow you to set or change the pointer but I have not researched it.  It's generally not recommended to use outside software just for compatibility sake and portability.  Specifically if you are going to be working with shared databases or giving to other users.  You would also have to ensure that they have the same apps installed and working on their systems.

Set the textbox's "Display as hyperlink" property on the property sheet to "Always", and you'll get the finger pointer for the mouse.  It will look like a hyperlink, but it's a fake hyperlink that won't do anything if you click it.  You have to code the Click event to make it actually do something.
