1.. In the Menu under Tools -> Options then View Tab, there is a property check box called "Start Up Dialog Box" If you uncheck this, the Access splash screen will not show.
2.. A second thing you can do is create a .bmp image and call it the same as you Db (MyFile.mdb & MyFile.bmp) Put these in the same folder and the bmp image will be displayed.
3.. Create your own Splash Screen. The attachment has 2 files. Copy then to the same directory somewhere and open the Db. I'm sure you will get the idea.
I tried the first thing, and the screen showed up, only for a second, but still there. However, I like the second part, and I am going to give that a shot right away.
Sorry for repeating myself, this is just driving me crazy!
