Supressing Splashscreen

[Guest]

I'm trying to open various Access DBs from Excel and I was wondering if theres
a way to supress splashscreens and other runtime events.

I can open the DB and refer to its object model.
But I don;t know the equivalent of the Excel command

Application.EnableEvents = False

Which turns off any open even or code that might run, like a startup screen
from an external ap.

Is there an Access VBA command to supress code running in another DB or ap?

If you store a bitmap with the same name as your database in the folder
(i.e.: if your database is named MyDB.mdb, have a file MyDB.bmp in the same
folder), and that image will be used instead of the standard Access startup
screen. If you make the image 1 pixel by 1 pixel, it should be noticed.

Thanks. But the problem is I would be batch processing files and couldn't make
a bitmap for ever db in every folder and subdirectory. Isn't there a command to
supress a splashscreen so no code would run?

Suppressing the splashscreen has nothing to do with having startup code not
run.

Take a look at the section "Bypassing Startup Settings When Opening a
Database" in
