How do I change my database icon?
I want to use an icon I created for a database I created with Access 2007. I
have added it to the "Application Icon" field under Access Options, but the new icon only shows up next to the program name in the toolbar. I also know how to change the icon for the shortcut to the database, but I need to know how to change the icon for the original program, not just the shortcut.

How do I change my database icon?
The only way I know of for showing the icon in the application title bar is
to hide the ribbon.

How do I change my database icon?
You want to change the icon for the MDB in Windows
Explorer? Icons in Windows Explorer are associated with File Extensions, so the two options are to either change the File Extension (MDB) or to use an Add-In for Windows Explorer. There is no Add-In available for Windows Explorer that will do what you want: Writing it would require an experienced Shell programmer. If you choose your own File Extension, you can associate it with what ever Icon you want. (david) "gagecres" wrote in message ...
