Hi
Not really an Access thing, in W98:
Right click the short cut used to to run the application, choose properties, click the change icon button on the shortcut tab.
May be slight variation in W2K, WXP but same basic idea

Hi
Yes, or you could make the shortcut, put it on the server then copy it to each client desktop, possibly using a login script, don't ask me how to do the login script thing, I am a developer not a Windows expert!! <joke>

Votegop, its the same in AC97!
You know that you can change the Access startup splash screen, don't you?
You will need to do this on installation, but:
Create a new bitmap (BMP) and save it in the same folder where your database resides. Name the bitmap the same as your database. For example
C:\MyApp\SuperApp.MDB
C:\MyApp\SuperApp.BMP
WARNING!! I have seen this cause a Blue Screen under WinNT 4.0, but not under Win 9X

Spyder757,
Give this a try in VBA
Function SetAppIcon
Call SetApplicationIcon("AppIcon", dbText, "IconFullPath"
End Function
Function SetApplicationIcon(strName As String, _
varType As Variant, varValue As Variant) _
As Integer
Dim ThisDb As Database
Dim Prpty As Property
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Set ThisDb = CurrentDb
ThisDb.Properties(strName) = varValue
SetApplicationIcon = True
RefreshTitleBar
ExitAppIconSet:
Exit Function
ErrorHandler:
If err.Number = 3270 Then
SetApplicationIcon = False
Resume ExitAppIconSet
End If
End Function
