"Hover" event?

[PeteCresswell]

I've got a form that goes in and out of "Edit" mode.

There's also a subform that's never editable, but has an underlined
field that I want to treat as a hyperlink. i.e. when the user clicks
on that field, I drill down and show some supporting info.

The only event I see so far is "MouseMove" - in which I could set
Application.Screen.MousePointer to whatever value I deemed
appropriate.

The hitch seems tb that once set, it persists when the pointer is
moved to other places on the screen - seemingly needing MouseMove code
behind every object on the screen to make the cursor act appropriately
for each object.

Is there any way I can change the pointer just when it is over a
certain field without coding a MouseMove event for every object on the
screen? This is my main concern. It seems confusing from a UI
perspective for the user tb having to click on something when the
pointer is an insertion bar instead of an arrow.

Secondarily, is there a way for me to keep the MousePointer an arrow
when it's over a text field, but the screen is in "Browse" mode? I
don't want to set .Enabled=False bco the effect on other field props.

Here's an example of how to do it:
