preloader

[jirrah]

i have a relatively larger access database, which takes some time to load...
i wonder if it is possible to make some sort of preloader, display some image or splash screen for the time it takes to load.... or some other solution...
any suggestion??
thanks

jirrah,

You can definitely display a splash screen, but why does it take so long
to load?

Is it over a network? Are your forms based on entire tables? What happens
when your database opens? The size of the database doesn't really have to
be the determining factor in startup.

I think you should address those issues before attempting to mask the real
problem.
