Changing the style of a cursor when over a link

[Viv1]

Hi,

I have a form which you can use to drill down for more information by clicking on a particular field. This works fine but the cursor doesn't make it obvious that this is a link. Is there any VBA that can be used to make the cursor change style when over the link field?

Many Thanks

You can use the mousemove event of the control and set the screen.mousepointer to what you want (e.g. the hourglass, screen.mousepointer = 11). Don't forget to change it back to the default (screen.mousepointer = 0) on the mousemove event of the forms detail. If you do a bit of digging you can use custom mousepointers using screen.mousepointer = 99.

Hope this helps
