Change application icon on Microsoft Access database not working

WebCool 0

I'm using this code:

Application.CurrentProject.Properties.Add "AppIcon", Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\myicon.ico"

Application.RefreshTitleBar

to change the application icon of my access database, but the Access icon is still displayed in the main, like this:

2023-02-17_08-48-52

Forms and reports are updated with the customiced Icon, but not the "main" icon as shown.

I have tried to use different code, like this:

CurrentDb.Properties("AppIcon").Value = CurrentProject.Path & "\myicon.ico"

Application.RefreshTitleBar

But still no updates for the "application" icon.

PS:

This code has been working for several years, but lately its not updating the "application" Icon.

Did you try the AddAppProperty example, that uses the CreateProperty function: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/office/vba/api/access.application.appicon? But if the icon that was set manually in Options dialog does not have effect on main Access icon, then maybe it is not supported.

This method has worked for many years, but after upgrading to windows 11, it no longer works... Forms and report icon are updated, but not the application icon.
