Animated Splash Screen

[JohnD]

I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.

Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.

Is this a possible task?

I used the virgin SEARCH function!

Dave, I have used the search function and this is an animated logo that is within the database once it is open. This I have allready accomplished, however I was wondering about the Splash screen when you first open Access (when you enter USER ID and PASSWORD)....

Thinking about it though, I suppose I could just have the logo rotate on the switchboard or create a welcome form first.

Doing this, will there be any ill effects on the speed of Access?

...and I still present the question if animation is possible on the Splash screen, simple curiousity!

Thank you for the input though!
