    Icons for Access Forms

    I've got about 20 access forms, but need about 6 of them to stand out from the others in the database window?

    Does anyone know how I could set it so that these display a differernt icon from the rest?

    You can't..

    Try giving them a different name to group them.. use underscore or z ...

    Example :
    frmDevSwitchMenu
    frmDevMenuWizard
    frm_Thisfirst
    frmzOrThis

    That would be ok for most people, you would think, but unfortunately if it's not a picture my users will get confused.

    Never let the users see the forms on the database window....

    Bad idea - one might decide to look at the tables and alter the data....


    Best to create a menu form (a form of buttons to the other screens if you are beginning) or replace the menu with your own (advanced) or the latter via code (expert)

    the you can use the Access db start up to hide the main window and disable short cut buttons to it...

    Just an Idea.
