Is there a way in VBA code to change the mouse pointer image to a "hand"
image, similar to the hand image when mouseover a hyperlink in an  html
browser?  I have been using the hyperlink address property in my controls to
simulate this, but it seems there must be an easier way.  Hope.  Hope.
Thanks,

Take a look at http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0044.htm at "The Access
Web" (Unfortunately, you'll have to find a hand icon yourself)

That I could do. 
Is there some docmd property to set?  I cannot find it.
Thanks again

If there were a DoCmd way to do it, I would have told you! You need to use
the code in the web reference I cited.

In case anyone is curious, this is a built in property for command buttons in Access 2007.

You are looking for a way that is easier than making a single spacebar entry in
a property sheet and which requires zero code?
