splash screen

[soulpiercing]

I am sure there is an easy way to do it - but anyway...

does anyone have a sample of code to set the display time for a form then automatically close it? I want to use it for a splash screen form I am using.

Otherwise - anyone got a good sample of a splash screen?

Thanks

Use the timer function to automatically close the splash screen

Set TimerInterval for the form to 3000 (for 3 seconds)

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub

Also consider an option to close the window with the click of the mouse (for those impatient types).

Private Sub Form_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub

I am also tring to play a .wav sound and have the code posted here entered - nothing seems to be working.....
