Access Database Icon

I have created an access database, but I want to replace the standard access_db icon (when displayed on the desktop) with an alternate image...as the databse will be used as a tool.

How do I go about this?

I would create a shortcut to your DB on the Desktop (Not the actual .mdb file, as windows will default bind this to the access symbol)

Then Right Click > Properties > Shortcut Tab > Change Icon

Hope that helps.
