Welcome Message?

[connordrew]

I have created a form which I want to use as a welcome message.

It is simply called form 1 and if the database is opened, I want form1 to be displayed for about 10seconds.

Thanx

The form Timer Interval (thousanths of a second) property and OnTimer event is what you want.

For an open form (whether hidden or not) the OnTimer event is executed at each occurrence of the Timer Interval.

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.TimerInterval = 3200
    DoCmd.Hourglass True
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Timer()

    If Me.TimerInterval <> 0 Then
        Me.TimerInterval = 0
    End If
    
    DoCmd.Hourglass False
    DoCmd.Close
    DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain"
End Sub
