Hum, often, the best approach for "look and feel" is to making things work
much like existing windows appliations.

Here is a link with some screen shots, and note how I used menu bars and
icons in ms-access:

And, here is a few more:

In all of the above cases, I simply added a few menu bars, and laid things
out nicely. None of the example use any 3rd party controls, and is just
plain jane ms-access.

As for nice icons...gee, fire up Google...you find more then enough
companies selling icons....

You will note that in a good many of those screen shots example, the
ms-access icon has been replaced.

You can set the access icon in the tools->startup.

Note that to change the forms icon, you need 2002 and later, and note the
option in tools->startup to "use icon for forms and reports".
