Application Icon Creation 1

[jameshall]

Hello

I have just finished a DB and i am ready to install (non package and deployment) it but i would like to convert a .bmp file to be the application icon.
Is there a way of doing this in Access or Windows?
This is a simple thing that would add a nice touch but it is proving awkward

Thanks In Advance

You can set the application ICON in the TOOLS->STARTUP menu then you will see an application icon text box. The real issue in my opinion is the size of your .bmp Icons are usually 16x16 pixels for small icons and 32x32 for standard icons. If you create a bitmap of either size and then rename it with .ico extension you will be able to set it to your application icon. If you want the icon to appear on the desktop as well, then create a shortcut to the database and then change the shortcut icon by right-clicking on the shortcut then go to properties and select the shortcut tab and at the bottom there is a button to change the shortcut's icon.

HTH,
