On Timer() code not firing

[RObin Smallwood]

Hi Folks
I have an Access app with splash screen that worked fine
in Access 97. When upgrade to Access 2K, the splash screen
loads but the OnTimer() code does not fire, i.e. the
splash screen remains on the screen. Can anyone shed any
light on this?

This is the process that I have simplified it down to:
1. Access Startup option open the form "Startup" (the
splash screen)
2. Startup form has a Timer Interval of 3000.
3. OnTimer() event has following code:
MsgBox "Hello"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Startup", acSaveNo

When the .mdb is opened, the form appears but the msgbox
does not. However, if I set the startup options to be
blank and then open the form manually, all is well.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Works in my testing ....

Try recreating the splash from and try it again.
