Urgently need help on Flash Screen for MS Access

[IlluminEssence]

Hi! I am making a database for a small business (family business)...I have created a database that suits the business' needs. To make it look very neat, I was thinking of puttins a small flash screen just to let everyone know that I made the program when they open the application...I would really appreciate for any help on how to do this...

Please let me know. Thank you.

Look at the samples databases that are shipped with access, Solutions, Orders etc, one of them has an example of splash screens.

I will assume that your opening screen is called 'SplashScreen' and the first form to be displayed after your splashscreen is named 'Form1'.

In the On Timer event of your splash screen put code like this:

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "SplashScreen"
End Sub

In the Timer Interval put 3500 as a place to start. This determines how long your splash screen is displayed. 3500 = 3.5 seconds.

From Tools > Startup select SplashScreen in the 'Display Form/Page:' field.
