Use arrow cursor for textbox

Question

I am using a textbox in lieu of a button in a MS Access 2003 form. When I hover over the textbox, the cursor changes to an insertion point. Is there any way to keep the cursor a mouse (and keep the textbox clickable- so the "enabled" property can't be set to "no")?

Answer 1

In the mouse move event of the textbox, set:

screen.MousePointer = 1

Answer 2

This will also be useful, you can use it as reference and build upon it to fit your needs.

Paste into module:

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

' Declarations for setting the cursor icon when called
Public Const IDC_HAND = 32649&
Public Const IDC_ARROW = 32512&
Public Declare Function LoadCursor Lib "user32" Alias "LoadCursorA" (ByVal hInstance As Long, ByVal lpCursorName As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function SetCursor Lib "user32" (ByVal hCursor As Long) As Long

How to call the hyperlink hand (remember to use the proper module name):

CursorModule.SetCursor LoadCursor(0, IDC_HAND)

How to call the default cursor shape:

CursorModule.SetCursor LoadCursor(0, IDC_ARROW)
