Richard,
Only resource database can have resources - other databases just have
records.
Default application launcher, when displaying launchable databases, uses
icon
of the application with the same creator ID.
PQAs, which are also launchable databases, have their icons in the app info
area,
so I guess (I'm not sure, but I would like that it's true <g>) that if your
launchable database has app info area where launcher can recognize icons, it
will
use those icons.
Or maybe launcher treats PQAs a special case.
Regards
Bozidar
