Modification of Title Bar in MS Access VBA Application

[Vincent]

Is it possible to modify the title bar of an MS Access application
written using VBA? More specifically, I wish to change the icons that
appear in the upper-right corner of the title bar. This area is
currently occupied by the minimize, maximize and close icons. Thanks
for your help.

To some extent yes, what do you want to do?

That is decidedly non-trivial to do. Spend your energy elsewhere.

You can easily change it for a particular database by entering the text and
Icon in Startup. It is volatile, and will revert back to Microsoft Access
with the Access icon when you close the db.

I wish to place a help icon (?) in the title bar and when pressed,
display context-sensitive help. Thanks.

In order to do what you want would involve (at a guess):-
CreateWindow API call
SetParent API call
Subclass the Window
Trap the mouse events (which would involve trapping the click on the
window and the click on what the user wants context sensitive help for)
Display the help.

or you could just use the WhatsThis button property of the form ?
