>Is there a way in VFP 5.0 to select a different icon for an executable that is compiled through the VFP Build routine? Is there maybe a line of code that I need to put in my app that can do this for me?

Like Wayne said:
Look at the Project Info... there's a place there to change the icon.

Just make sure you use 2 icons in the file, 16x16 and 32x32 16 colors.
