I have tried numerous formats for the ICON fole, but always results in the same error;

error: 
d:\Documents\B4X\BmT Consumer\B4J\Objects\temp\build\BmT Consumer.exe: error CS1567: Error generating Win32 resource: Error reading icon 'd:\Documents\B4X\BmT Consumer\B4J\Objects\temp\icon.ico' -- The data is invalid.

What is the exact format needed to get this working? Is there a reliable tool or converter?

Thanks,
Kev

Thanks, I used it to create an ICO file, but still no luck.

I thought it may be something to do with a space in a directory name, so I elimanated that as well, but no luck...

OK, it is solved. I used the https://www.lunapic.com/editor/ suggested by aeric and this time I uploaded a GIF rather than a PNG, resized to 72x72 and saved as a Windows ICO file.

I tried again using the PNG source and it failed, so it looks like the GIF source is the way to go. Strange because both came from the same photoshop file...

Thanks,
Kev
