Is there a way to create a desktop shortcut for database that I can change the icon? I have tried the drag and drop to create a shortcut successfully but it does not give me the option to change the icon. Help please.
 
If you are not using Vista you should be able to create the desktop shortcut, then when you right click on the shortcut, on the shortcut tab you should have the option to change the Icon. If you are using Vista things might be different.
 
I am using vista. and the option to change icon is not there when I right click. It is for other icons but not the Microsoft office related ones. I can manipulate the folder icons but that seems to be about it.
 
so there is no way within access to create a special shortcut icon for the database? shucks
 
If you are using Access 07 you can use the developer extension to package the DB into a runtime package and assign any icon you like.
 
ooh talk more like that. Yes I'm running 2007 ...what about the packing part though?
