Ahhh Ok....I've messed about a bit, and copied the icon from a different form, and then added the line of code (which made me shiver) into the initialisecomponents bit....close the form, save it....reopen it and....bobs your uncle...it's there.
Thanks very much for everyone getting me to this point. Now comes the real question....which is only slightly pathetic.....what if I want to change the icon on the basis of the (localisation) language setting. -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics.

When you click on the Icon property you're setting it, so it asks what file to use. It doesn't support selecting an icon from resources (don't know why), if that's what you're asking. As far as I know you can only replace the existing icon in the resources; the Form designer always stores the form icon as $this.Icon, meaning it only supports one icon per form resource. If you want to select different icons at run-time then you'll have to store the icons elsewhere (like Properties/Resources) the designer doesn't really support manually editing a form's resx file. (it supports editing it; but it doesn't support keeping resources it doesn't know about when it adds/removes form resources).
