I know how to change the mouse pointer (via control panel) as well as ion
code but I need to know where can I go to get various Mouse Icons besides
the ones Microsoft offers you in the Control panel. Also, is there a
constant that can be used, via vba that you can use to load this custom
icon?

From VBA help:
MouseIcon, MousePointer Properties Example

The following example demonstrates how to specify a mouse pointer that is
appropriate for a specific control or situation. You can assign one of
several available mouse pointers using the MousePointer property; or, you
can assign a custom icon using the MousePointer and MouseIcon properties.

This example works in the following ways:

a.. Choose a mouse pointer from the ListBox to change the mouse pointer
associated with the first CommandButton.


b.. Click the first CommandButton to associate its mouse pointer with the
second CommandButton.


c.. Click the second CommandButton to load a custom icon for its mouse
pointer.
To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a
form. Make sure that the form contains:

a.. Two CommandButton controls named CommandButton1 and CommandButton2.


b.. A ListBox named ListBox1.
Note This example uses two icon files (identified by the .ico file
extention in Windows) that are loaded using the LoadPicture function. You
should edit each LoadPicture function call to specify an icon file that
resides on your system.

Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
If IsNull(ListBox1.Value) = False Then
CommandButton1.MousePointer = ListBox1.Value

If CommandButton1.MousePointer = _
fmMousePointerCustom Then
CommandButton1.MouseIcon = _
LoadPicture("c:\msvc20\cdk32\" _
& "samples\circ1\bix.ico")
End If
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
CommandButton2.MousePointer = CommandButton1.MousePointer

If CommandButton2.MousePointer = fmMousePointerCustom Then
CommandButton2.MouseIcon = CommandButton1.MouseIcon
End If
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
CommandButton2.MousePointer = fmMousePointerCustom
CommandButton2.MouseIcon =
LoadPicture("c:\msvc20\cdk32\samples\push\push.ico ")
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Load ListBox with MousePointer choices
ListBox1.ColumnCount = 2

ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerDefault"
ListBox1.List(0, 1) = fmMousePointerDefault
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerArrow"
ListBox1.List(1, 1) = fmMousePointerArrow
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerCross"
ListBox1.List(2, 1) = fmMousePointerCross

ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerIBeam"
ListBox1.List(3, 1) = fmMousePointerIBeam
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerSizeNESW"
ListBox1.List(4, 1) = fmMousePointerSizeNESW
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerSizeNS"
ListBox1.List(5, 1) = fmMousePointerSizeNS

ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerSizeNWSE"
ListBox1.List(6, 1) = fmMousePointerSizeNWSE
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerSizeWE"
ListBox1.List(7, 1) = fmMousePointerSizeWE
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerUpArrow"
ListBox1.List(8, 1) = fmMousePointerUpArrow

ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerHourglass"
ListBox1.List(9, 1) = fmMousePointerHourGlass
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerNoDrop"
ListBox1.List(10, 1) = fmMousePointerNoDrop
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerAppStarting"
ListBox1.List(11, 1) = fmMousePointerAppStarting

ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerHelp"
ListBox1.List(12, 1) = fmMousePointerHelp
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerSizeAll"
ListBox1.List(13, 1) = fmMousePointerSizeAll
ListBox1.AddItem "fmMousePointerCustom"
ListBox1.List(14, 1) = fmMousePointerCustom

ListBox1.BoundColumn = 2
ListBox1.Value = fmMousePointerDefault

MsgBox "ListBox1.Value =" & ListBox1.Value & "."
CommandButton1.MousePointer = ListBox1.Value
End Sub
