hello all,
I have looked at help and cursed the msnb but haven't
found what i'm looking for.
does anyone know how to create custom icon with code.
I can create menus and toolbars using the standard ms icon
but the custom icon i'm having a problem with.
any help would be appreaciated.
thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert, but I read someplace that all you need to do to make a
custom icon is to first create a bitmap that is either 8x8 or 16x16 in size.
Then save it as an .ico file. You should be able to make a call to that file
for the custom. I believe you can also just insert the file from the
properties menu for the button you're trying to create.
Hope this helps.

You are correct. Create a bitmap and rename it to ico. As far as how big or
small the image has too be, I do not know. However 8x8 or 16x16 sounds good
for experimenting. Once completed, you call the icon from the Access menu
Tools | Startup and specific the location.
