don't show this again checkbox to splash screen

I have added a do not show this again checkbox to my splash screen but I am
not sure how to make it work. Does anyone have any information to offer about
this situation? Thank you!

You'll have to set a flag somewhere that can be looked at each time the
application starts, to see if the splash screen should be displayed. I have
a table in my database with a Yes/No field, and I set the field to True if
the checkbox is checked on the splash screen. In my startup procedure, I
look at the value of the field in the table and if it's True I skip the
splash screen. Using a field in a table like this allows me to 'reset' the
splash screen if I so desire.

Keep in mind, if you have multiple users you will need a way to indicate the
splash screen status for each user. Otherwise, one user turning it off will
turn it off for all users.

HTH,

Carl,
Thank you so much for your reply! I understand what you are saying and I am
going to try this. It was very nice of you to do this and I appreciate it
immensely!

I need to get my check box to work as well, but I don't know what you mean by
looking in the startup procedure. I'm new to access, so I'm still learning
how to do certain things. Could you tell me exactly how to do this? Thank
you very much.
