Hi, my Access application lets the user choose files (typically Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF documents etc.), to store the full path and filename into a database table. A listview displays all records from that table. For each row in that listview I want to display the file type icon that windows assigned to the file. I try googling but found VB specific approaches using SHGetFileInfo API
Colin, I think I know the problem you describe. It pertains to icons in custom menubar items. Those icons are stored in a .dll file, so there's no direct solution. Find any icon (.ico) you want to use. Right click that icon, and select Open With...Microsoft Paint. In Paint, use Select All, and copy the image. Now, in Access, Paste that .ico file into your custom button.

Just use the OnClick event of a picture/graphic/etc Best place to start is the main MS website. In the search box type in Clipart and then select the file type = icon. Better (this is what I do) use http://www.irfanview.com/ You

Your information is great appreciated, Hi, Assuming your icon name is "icon.ico" and it is in same folder with database, do the following: 1) Menu Tools\Start Up 2) In "Application Icon" field type "icon.ico", without quotes
The file types are specified in a file called docicon.xml located under: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\DOCICON.XML. Download a new icon and add the path to this file.
