[AccessD] set the DefaultPicture of an unbound image control to an attachment in a recordset field?

Fair enough, but it looks like a little spatter of gore, whereas when put
into the image control, it looks as nice as I want it   :)

Hi William, 

You still can put an icon onto the database window title bar in Access
2007/2010.

Go to File | Options | Current Database.  At the top you can Browse to an
icon file and it will be used as the icon for the database window.

AND WHAT I FORGOT:  In Access 2010 there is a checkbox to set that same icon
to be used on all forms and reports (hopefully in Access 2007 as well)!

Good Luck!
Dan

I read that thread and even tried out one poster's IconTest.Zip. It purports
to affect the database window, I think that went out with v. 12.0.

After loading it, fixing some coding errors, I noticed that what it tries to
do with form titles is lost if the database is set up to show tabbed
documents.

Actually, I am not sure showing a database in tabbed documents view is such
a good idea anyway, although during development it can be convenient.

I am content having icons in my form headers, it presents the logos well as
Herbert suggested.

What HAUNTS me and I am sure will bite me some time in the immediate future
is that I am using up a VALUABLE piece of form real estate - namely, the
header - to present static information which generally might be better used
to show aggregates and form commands.

We shall see. Oh well, my technique will evolve over time, just playing for
now.

Still gotta dig into shared icons...
