if you enter an address in the Hyperlink Address property of the button but

Command buttons do have a MouseMove event that can be used instead of a
MouseOver event. See this link for code to set the mouse cursor:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0044.htm

With that code installed in a standard module, all you need to do is set

the command button's OnMouseMove property to:

=MouseCursor(32649)

Access will automatically set the mouse cursor back to the normal arrow
when you move it off the control.
