>>In a VFP5 form, I have defined the MousePointer property of a label as 99 (custom) and set the MouseIcon property to a .cur file. When running the form from within VFP, the desired mouse icon shows up correctly when the mouse is over the label, but when the app is run as an external EXE the desired mouse icon does not show up. The .cur file has been added to the project manager under 'Other' and is not marked as excluded. I'm sure I'm overlooking something here but can't figure out what. Does anyone have an idea?

Yeah, I had the same thought, but the mouse icon doesn't show even when running the stand-alone EXE on the development machine, where the .cur file is available externally in the drive and path specified in the MouseIcon property. It's a mystery so far...
