Default TextBox data as a hyperlink - problem with hand cursor

Hi
I have a textbox on a continuous form tied to a field that is not a
hyperlink in the underlying table. I have set the hyperlink property of the
text box to Yes so that the text appears as a hyperlink. On clicking the data
in this field, another form is brought up with the details of the record.
Everything is working fine except I am unable to change the cursor to a hand
when the user clicks this form. I do not have a hand icon and due to company
policies I cannot download and use a hand icon.

Any help in resolving this issue is greatly appreciated.
TIA

I find it very hard to believe with Windows installed that you don't have a
hand cursor. Note that you first say "hand cursor" then later say "hand icon.
" They are not the same! C:\Windows\cursors should bring you all the cursors
you need. Note that some "hand" cursors are named h_arrow short for hand
arrow.

I am sorry for not being clear. What I meant was that in the mouse pointer
property in MSAccess, there is no way to set the mouse pointer to a hand. One
of the earlier posts in this forum referred to a solution provided on
mvps.org (http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0044.htm) that made the
assumption that the user had a hand icon on his/her desktop. While typing the
post up, I did not realize that I had missed mentioning that I had looked at
the above solution. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my post.
