Splash Screens 1

[LeanneGodney]

Hi there,

I have a basic idea of what a splash screen is... is it something that comes up while Access is loading? I would really like to use this... At the mometn I have access opening up and displaying one of my forms while it loads up another form...

I would like this "splash screen" or form to come up even before the Access screen comes up... is this possible? I read somewhere about saving a jpg or bmp file with the same name as the database in the same location and THAT will start up instead of the normal Access splash screen.. is this right?

Any advice would be appreciated...

that instead of the normal splashscreen, is the splashscreen that open just in the beginning and yes you can change that like you read.

but if you want a splashscreen that reallty works all the time i would suggest you make one in access.

make a form
but a label in the middle and call it splashscreen
make the forms borderstyle none and anything else also to no or none
then save it as splashscreen

then in your code do this

docmd.openform "splashscreen",acnormal
docmd.repaintobject acform,"splashscreen"
...
put code here
like opening another form
...
docmd.close acform,"splashscreen",acsaveyes

and voila your own custom splashscreen Christiaan Baes
