Whenever I enter my startup options I always set the program icon to be the
same for the form/report icon. Works fine on my machine, but when I go and
distribute my application the icon only shows up on the START, Programs menu
and the desktop. I also include it in the setup package. Regardless, they
don't show up on the forms and reports???

This sounds like the target install directory is DIFFERENT on the target
machine.

Remember, the path name is hard coded into ms-access in the tools->startup
settings. If you point that to your typical directory on your development
machine..and then install to a different dir..then the icon will not show.

So, perhaps you\ have a icon specified for the shortcuts...and that location
sounds correct, but the location in tools->startup for the application icon
sounds incorrect....(check your settings).

Hi,
you can also set AppIcon property at startup:

CurrentDb.Properties("AppIcon") = "C:\<Path>\MyApp.ico"
Application.RefreshTitleBar
