Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000

Author	Message
ray #1 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 Hello All, I'd like to suppress the Access Splash screen. I tried to replace it as suggested on the MVP website but I get a error message when I try to close the database. I'd like to simply suppress the splash screen (provided that I don't get the same message) and use a form at startup to display the application data. Also, if there is a way to slow down the display of the Access Splash screen I'd appreciate knowing how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ray

Jeff Adam #2 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 Not sure what you mean by supress but I think I can help you out a little. To change the time the splash displays simply alter the timer interval, 1000 = 1 second. Why don't you use code like the following in the on timer event: DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name DoCmd.OpenForm "FormYouWantToOpen" Quote: >-----Original Message----- >Hello All, >I'd like to suppress the Access Splash screen.

ray #3 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 Thanks Jeff, When you lauch the Access application, there is a default Access screen that appears. I don't want to see that screen when I launch Access. My question is how to surpress the screen so that it does not appear.

Ed #4 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 You might try this. Create a bmp file with the same name as your application and install it to the same folder. When you start your program with access runtime the bmp file will appear reather than the access splash screen. I do this with Access 97 but I assume it works with 2000. (e.g. My application file is TPartner.mde so I created a TPartner.bmp using MS Paint.

ray #6 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 Guys, I know that creating a .bmp file replace the splash screen. I wanted to prolong the display of the .bmp file to allow user to read it.

<SteveT> #7 / 7	Supress Access Splash Screen in Access 2000 Keep the bmp in the directory with the mdb, that will kill the MsAccess screen, then create a form and insert your bmp on that form. Set a Timer value of 5000 (5 sec) in the On Timer call your menu form and close the splash form. Set the splash form as the startup form.
