Preserving 'Arrow' Appearance Of Pointer Over Text Control?

Got a text control that where .Locked = True.

I have the text blue and underlined to simulate a clickable link on a web page.

If the user clicks on that field, I open up a window that shows the detail
behind that text.

Only problem is that then the user moves the mouse pointer over the field, the
mouse pointer turns into an insertion point.

I'd like to keep it as an arrow - or even change it to something that would
imply clickability/zoomability.

I'm guessing something in OnMouseMove()? But what?

I would prefer a 'hand' to point out that one can click for an action.
Simply set the HyperlinkSubAddress for the control to a space.
(Go to the control - properties- click in property HyperlinkSubAddress, hit spacebar)
You might also want to code something like
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Web", acToolbarNo
in your form's open event.
