Remarks
The AppTitle and AppIcon properties enable you to customize your application by changing the title and icon that appear in the Microsoft Access title bar. The title bar is not automatically updated after you have set these properties. In order for the change to the title bar to appear, you must use the RefreshTitleBar method.
You can reset the AppTitle and AppIcon properties to their default value by deleting them from the Properties collection of the Database object that is representing the current database. After you delete these properties, you must use the RefreshTitleBar method to restore the Microsoft Access defaults to the title bar.
