Ok... I am positive this is super easy and I just missed something so simple I'm gonna shoot myself when I find out how. So, here goes...
How do I create an exe with vb 6.0 that has a certain icon? I tried the properties but I can't change the icon with that Icon part.
Please help

When you have selected File > Make EXE and the dialogue box is displayed, click on the Options button at the bottom and you have a chance to select the icon on the right hand side under Application.
I think you missed the point
It gives me no choices except form1. Where would i have to put an icon to use it?
I do have an icon in the main vb folder named test.ico

Bring up the Properties for Form1. There you will find the Icon property. Click on it and enter or browse to the path of the icon you want to use.

Getting warmer but it said "invalid property value" as an error when i loaded mine
The icon i tried to load is a 32x32 blue and black icon. Any help?

Goto Project on hte menu bar, then select your project properties(last choice at the bottom). THen clcik the make tab. There you can change the icon used for the executable.
Ok i may know the problem does anyone have a program that makes specifically .ico files?

Yeah, Microangelo.
Did you make the icon by renaming a BMP file?
Naughty. VB won't like that at all. Try Microangelo.

Sorry about my English, but my Scouse is dead good!
I've never tried Microangelo, but a GREAT icon editor is Axialis Software's AX Icon 4.5 program. You can get a free shareware version at:

Good Luck.
Ok, I did find that allready the problem is it doesn't let me change what icon i use it only shows me Form1 no other options and the help didn't help
I have an icon in the main vb folder with .ico extention is that the wrong one or something? Wrong place? Mine is screwed?

Email me Form1 and the icon and I'll see if I can help.
