I really don't want to have to include a whole separate .ico file for my custom icon to be passed around with my final mdb/mde. I know I can set a path on a local drive with CurrentDB.Properties!AppIcon, but surely there is some way I can embed a tiny little icon image inside the MDB itself and not have to have a link to an external file? Is there some way I could store the icon in an ActiveX ImageList ? or maybe as an OLE object in a db table? Maybe there is someway I could make the MDB file itself contain the icon and then have the AppIcon property refer to itself? Would this work somehow? I know sometimes you see EXE files with icons embeded inside them. Please help me find a way to have one single mdb with the icon embeded inside it without having to have a separate file be shipped around with the MDB or MDE (if I compile it). Thankyou...
