OK,
found a fix. The icon was changing but was not visible till the mouse was moved. I added code to mouse down and up and it works great now. The Mouse At ... simply moves the mouse to the current position (ie no move at all) but somewhere deep in the bowels of VFP some elf thinks he has to refresh the cursor.

MouseDown
LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
Local mName
mName = thisform.name
This.Mouseicon = "g:\j5web\movehand.cur"
Mouse At Mrow(), Mcol() Window &mName

MouseUp
LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
Local mName
mName = thisform.name
This.Mouseicon = "g:\j5web\openhand.cur"
Mouse At Mrow(), Mcol() Window &mName
