I want to run a pop up message "invisibly".

I have a flash file that jerks when run in access
but if i run it with a pop up it runs fine so I want
to run the pop up but, keep it hidden.
Without using minimize.
 
f Disk,

Do you mean a msgbox or a form you created that is popup?

If it is the latter, you should be able to set it to pop-up, & modal = no.

Code:
Private Sub Command296_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "tblService", acNormal, , , , acHidden


End Sub

The code shown opens a form in hidden mode. You can have whatever code you like run in the on open event of the hidden form. This may solve your problem?
 
pop up

Keith :

I maybe doing something wrong but, it still has the same problem
with the form as with the pop up.
The other problem I just found out is that when the pop up is
open and running the program will not advance to the next
screen unless you click and "ok" button which I prefer not to.

I am trying to have a flah movie as a splashscreen and then
have it go to my database.

If you would be so kind as to download a .swf and give it a try
I would appreciate it...it may save tons of questions.

thanks again for your help
