Thank you for the suggestion.

Using the registry or creating a shortcut both require special modifications to the client's set up.

[Quoted] What I would do in other development languages/environments is capture the path to the running form using a provided variable or function. Then I would create the full path to the icon programmatically and set the icon property of the targetted button. But in Oracle:

  (1) Is there a way to capture the runtime path?   (2) Oracle documentation says not to specify the full

      path to the icon ... is there a danger in using
      full paths? (like a page fault if the total length
      is greater than x characters ?)
