Change Application Title & Icon, Forms, Reports

In this video, I'll show you how to change the application title and icon for your Microsoft Access databases. We'll set that icon for the forms and reports in our database, too. We'll also see how to create a desktop shortcut and change the icon for that. And as a bonus, I'll show you how to put icons on buttons in your menu forms.

Livia from Augusta, Maine (a Platinum Member) asks: Is there any way I can change the icon for my database on the taskbar? I don't mind people knowing it's Microsoft Access, but I'd like to replace that Access logo with something else, and maybe change the title so it doesn't say "Microsoft Access." Thanks.
