Chankging Icon On Form 2

[Harr777]

Does anyone know how to change the icons on the forms. I know how to set it for start-up, but that only show the icon at the top left and bottom and not on the forms themselves.

Thanks,

Noah

Noah,


There is no way to do what you wish via default options in Access. However, using the API you can modify what the forms use as their default icon.

The following link should help you.

There isn't a way to change the icons on the forms themselves. The only thing you can do is hide the control bar of the form so that there is no icon showing then create a form header with the icon and the caption of the form so that it appears as a control bar

Thanks Steve, This is very useful stuff!

It doesnt seem to work with *.gif - I got caught by that. You will want to try *.ico!! Might help solve your problem Noah.
