Program Icon

I have a VBA program that has LAN users.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/information-technology/7283-program-icon.html

The startup dialog allows setting the icon to display in the title bar and
on the task bar.

Currently, when I select an icon located on a LAN drive, it codes the mapped
folder (drive letter used).

How can I use the LAN noun name for the drive? I've tried using
\\lan_server\lan_folder\selectedicon.ico, but Access will not allow.

When you browse to find the icon, don't select the mapped drive. Go through
Network Neighborhood or My Network or whatever it's called in your operating
system. Can't guarantee this will work, but it's how you can get UNCs with
the Linked Table Manager.

The dialog for the icon selection does not have Network anything. Only
Favorites, History, My Docs, and Desktop are available.

I'm using A2002.

Any other ideas?

Sorry, no. You sure about the browse, though? I've only got Access 97 and
Access 2003 installed on this machine, but both of them give me the full
gamut of possibilities for browsing.

I just tested this with Access 2002 and yes only those four options show
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=7283
up on the far left of the browse box. However, use the drop down list called
"Look In" and select "My Network Places' from there.

Thanx to both of you. The final solution works. I'll have to keep this in
mind for a lot of things regarding this.

While you found a solution, this begs the question as why the icon is not
installed on each pc? it makes no sense to try and share a path name to a
icon sitting on a server. You should create a directory on each pc, and in
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=7283
that directory you place both the software part (the mdb, mde file), and
also the icon file. These files should NOT be on the folder on the server
side.

I explain why, how come you need to put the software stuff on each pc here:
