Create Application Welcome Screen

[Fidah Mat Isa - Penang, Malaysia]

Hi All,
I want to create a welcome screen to my database application. I've seen
people doing it, but don't know how to do it.

Let's say I've created a picture (.bmp) format, and i want whenever people
open my database, it will show first this picture for a few second then, only
show my database

any idea, anyone?

thanks in advance

Place the picture in the same folder as your mdb file, and give it the same
name. For example, if you database is called MyFile.mdb, name the bitmap
MyFile.bmp. It will show briefly as the splash screen on the way into the
application.

The other alternative is to create a form in Access, and use the bitmap in
its Picture property. Nominate this as your startup form under Tools |
Startup. Use its Timer event to close the screen after 2 seconds, and open
your next form.
