>>>> icon on the _screen. have tried "_screen.icon = path+"\house.ico" (path being a variable that has the correct path) but my icon does not appear. the fox also does not appear.

>>>_SCREEN.Icon="house.ico"
>>>and include house.ico to project

>>have house.ico as the icon in project information. tried to add the file to the project (project manager, other tab), but said it was already in the project. did _SCREEN.icon = "house.ico" and it did not show in the vfp screen. tried setting in the command window and still will not take. ico file has two images, 16x16 and 32x32 both 16 color.

>What if you will add ico file to the same folder where exe file located?

the first time i come into vfp it lets me set the _screen.icon in the command window. so something happens after my program runs. i have a toplevel form, but i still have _screen.visible = .t.. all my other _screen properties seem ok: caption, windowstate, minbutton, etc. but something is up with the icon. neither my icon or the fox icon displays on the _screen when i my app is running. and after returning from my app there is still no icon and i can not set it in the command window. (i will not even mention that my win95 bar will not return from auto hide during my app or after returning to vfp after my app).
