[AccessD] Tech books ...

Honestly don't know about quirks on Access forms.  I have only ever used a
treeview or image control in VB.

As far as 'size' goes...well they say size doesn't really matter! <grin>  

Just kidding.  As far as I know, the treeview is going to 'mark' the icons
to be the same size as your largest icon....I THINK.  Thus, don't let any of
your icons go over the size you are trying to get.

Personally, I use axialis icons.  (I think it's www.axialis.com.  If you
want a copy, I can send it to you offline, I don't think the version I have
is available on their site anymore.  It's shareware.)

Thanks for that and I'll gladly give it a try. I seem to recall something
about a bug in planting the image control on an Access form at design time;
and that the alleged solution is to add it in code instead. But I could just
be having a senior moment.

On the purely cosmetic side, what's the ideal size for the images in said
list? I have a program called IconSucker and I have used it to suck some
icons, but they seem to be in different sizes and shapes. What would you
suggest in that regard?

One step removed from cosmetic is the use of the image to indicate something
even before the user clicks on the node, for example, in a list of
customers->orders->>order items, customers whose expenditures in the past
year > $5K get a special image in the list ($$$ :-), while the common rabble
get nothing but a file folder.

But you've given me the nudge I needed to do some woodshedding :-) Thank God
for unemployment (at least until the end of the month).

I have never used a Treeview in Access, but in VB, you just put the image
control onto the form.  Then add the images.  Then to change the image on a
node, just set it's image property to the images 'index' in the image list.
