    Upon clicking enter our application begins it's processing. Is there a way to disable (or change the mouse pointer) for as long as it is doing it's processing to let the user know that the program is still working.

    sure

    Me.MousePointer = vbHourglass

    then

    Me.MousePointer = vbDefault

    resets it

    Notice that a button can still be pressed, whether the mousecursor is an hourglass or not.
    You can disable the form using me.enabled = false .
    You can also use a progressbar to indicate the process is still in progress.

    Can you change the pointer to a picture file?
    Like a novelty pointer?

    You can by setting the Value to vbCustom and Loading an Image into the MouseIcon Property, but the Image has to be in a Cursor or Icon Format, ie.
    Code:
        Screen.MouseIcon = LoadPicture("..\Common\Graphics\Icons\Arrows\Point09.ico")
    Screen.MousePointer = vbCustom
