    How to retrieve my Access icon?


    Just overnight somehow (?) I lost the Access icon to my Access program. Might anyone know how I can retrieve the Access Icon? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Lost the icon from where - Windows toolbar or Start list or desktop?

    Can you still open Access from the programs list?

    I posted this message earlier this morning, but I don't see it. I lost my Access icon on my start menu, on my task bar (when the application is open) & on my desktop. Even when i rick-click on the desktop icon the "Change Icon" is shaded out. Yes I'm still able to use Access.

    Is okay, accidents happen.

    So is it just showing some generic Windows icon in place of the Access image?

    Don't know why Windows 7 would lose track of the icon, nor why the desktop shortcut would not allow change. You have rebooted computer? Maybe need to reinstall Access?
