Re: Icons, Icons, Icons

Max,

   Regarding your first question, I am running Forms 5.0 on an NT system, so the registry location in 98, or for the version of Forms you are using may be different; on mine it is found in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - ORACLE
the icon directory is specified with: TK25_ICON on my setup this points to: "D:\ORANT\TOOLS\DEVDEM20\BIN\ICON" and I believe Forms 4.5 uses this same directory structure (naturally, the drive letter may differ).

   Regarding your second question, are you saving the form to a file, or to the database? I've never saved to the database, but if you are, that might be the answer (especially if you did not recompile and save the form after the file rename. I can tell you that Forms captures the icon when you open the form. I tried to 'swap' icons on a button by renaming the icon files from within the form when button was pressed, didn't work. Forms apparently loads the icon when the application is first opened, then just displays it as needed. So if your app was running when you renamed the .ico file, this would explain it. Hope this helps,
Paul
