[Muthulingam Ammaiappan]

Hi Jaco Naude,

Thanks for your Quick Reply...

exe.... i had already implemented that functionality...

now i am interested to add the application icon image to the file which is
generated from my application....

you can see the attached image...(in that PDF files Shows the Adobe Reader
Icon image ,a nd MS Word files are showing MS Word Application Icon
Image...)

like that i wanted to show my application icon image to the file which is
generated from my application...

if you give some code snippet it will be really helpful...

Thanks & Regards,
Muthulingam
