    Change Access Icon on Desktop

    Is there a way to change the Icon of accessto a different picture? I want to do this in the program some how so when i rewrite the MDE file it will appear as a change on everyones desktop. If i just do it to the "shortcut" to the Mde file on my desktop it only affects that file. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

    To change the Default Icon of Access itself would probably involve an API call. What you can do is this:
    1. You will be re-writing the *.MDE file anyway. Prior to immediate distribution, change the Application Icon via the following Method:
      1. Tools
      2. StartUp
      3. Application Icon
      4. Browse
      5. Select an Icon (*.ICO)
      6. OK twice to produce a New Application Icon
    2. Distribute (*.MDE) to all appropriate personnel
