A “Splash Screen” and an Application Icon in your Microsoft Database are stylish additions that result in a slick, professional-looking application. Your Application Icon will appear in the title bar of your Forms and Reports.
I use the amazing GIMP for all my graphics needs. GIMP has the option to export to the Microsoft Icon format (.ico).
To add your icon to your database:

- Select File ยป Options
- Select the Current Database section
- Add an Application Title
- Click the Browse button
- Select the Use as Form and Report Icon option
- Click the OK button

- The dialogue window is already set to filter for Icon format files
- Use the Search box to search by extension
- Select your icon
- Click the OK button
You have to restart Access and re-open your database to see the result.
