Unless it's changed (I don't have A2K7), it was Tools->Startup...-
>Application Icon.
If you'd just like a background image, you just put that on your form
in the proper spot. Make sure it's set behind your controls by going
to "Format" on the toolbar and choosing "Send to Back".
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
thanks for responding, though just to clarify: i don't want to put the
logo on a form, but rather the background of the Access window so it
is visible when no forms/reports are open.
Thanks

AFAIK it's not possible to put a bitmap on the mdi background. You need to
use API code to even just change the colour.
However there is a way using a form and a bit of code to _simulate_ what you
want.
Create a new unbound form. Call it say 'Background'. Set the form's
borderstyle to 'None'. Set it's Picture property to your logo bitmap. Then
grab this piece of code: http://www.smccall.demon.co.uk/Windows.htm#WinManip
Open the background form in design view and put this code into the OnOpen
event procedure:
SizeFormToWindow Me
Open this form before whatever you normally load up first. The user will not
be able to affect the background form in any way because it has no title bar
(and hence no system menu or close button).

Hi Stuart,
this helps a real lot - almost there now - thank you.
just a couple of questions;
despite the fact that i have disabled scroll bars they still apear -
do you know why? and secondly, if the user resizes the Access window,
is it possible to automatically resize the form, otherwise if the
window is made larger i get an unwanted border (back to the default)?
Thanks Again.

Probably because your bitmap is too big. Try reducing the size a bit (if you
have the wherewithall)
and secondly, if the user resizes the Access window,
is it possible to automatically resize the form, otherwise if the
window is made larger i get an unwanted border (back to the default)?
No, unfortunately there's no event fired when Access resizes (TTBOMK). I
should have mentioned before that this technique only works well if Access
is run maximized.
It's by no means an ideal solution, but it works well within its limits.

Thanks Again.

Hi Stephen
I had an idea you'd have something for this. Thanks for jumping in. I'll
take a look at your database soon.
Hi Stephen,
I downloaded the db and copied in the modules/forms as instructed, but
couldnt get it to work in either A2K3 or A2K7.
In A2K3, it looks like it works, in that the bitmap is displayed, but
when the db is reopened it has disappeared.
In A2K7, the bitmap selected just doesnt apear in the MDI when
selected.
Have i missed something?
Thanks for your help.

You have to set the background for the MDI window each time your MDB is
started. Most folks place the required code inthe Load event of the first
form they open.
I have no idea as to whether it will work in A2007 or not.
