Access: How to make the Access-window show your icon

by Olaf Rabbachin 19. February 2003 21:42

Access comes with the ability to set your own icon using the screen supplied under Tools/Startup.
Too bad an absolute path is required for this property called 'AppIcon', as just about always your users will install your application into a non-predictable directory, rendering your icon useless.
However, here's a sample with which you may - using just a couple of lines of code - set this property when your app's starting up.
In addition to that - if you use Access with V10 or higher (10 = Access XP) along with the Access XP file-format, this icon may be used for forms and reports as well.

This is one of the older entries that can also be found on the original Access-site.
