    It is possible but probably not practical.

    I've done some real-time applications, but with much older Windows. I believe that you would have to trap the click at the mouse handler and start a timer for Access. One of the gurus here may be able to help with that, but I would have to relearn a bunch of stuff...if I could.
    Secondly, you would likely run into a lot of conflicts with other events and actions in your application.

    your mouse idea. Access has amazing flexibility and there may be another way to achieve the user friendliness you want.
    Or perhaps I misread your problem... If you wanted to know about controlling the pointer after the mouse was clicked when on a control or field, that is another problem which is easier to tackle. In that case you could take action in the ONCLICK events and make stuff happen.
