Auto Open and Closing Forms

[vividor]

Hey guys, I have two Forms one is like a intro Form and the second Form is the Main Menu.
When a user click on this data base, I want the Intro Form to open for few seconds and close then the Main Menu will open.

Is there any way to do that using the Timer Interval? I am not to familiar with that... as a matter of fact I found some code but is not working right for me.

Can some one help me...

You can set the timer interval property to however long you want the form to be displayed!

Then as a timer event procedure place some code to open and close whatever forms




I have an Autoexec macro that calls up a form called "SplashScreen". When Splashcreen loads its timer interval is set to 3500..

In the on Timer event it closes itself and then opens that switchboard form!

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "switchboard"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "SplashScreen"
End Sub


Hope that helps
