Solved: Make Splash Screen enabled longer?

[skaseman]

Boy, you guys have a way of hashing things out, don't you!

(I'm very grateful to have my splash screen bright and functional! Thanks!)

Great,

It might be helpful if you posted what you eventually did.

Thanks

Sorry, my fault for not having been clearer. I should have said use the timer event with a timer interval. Example:

[VBA]
Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSwitchboard"
End Sub
[/VBA]

The interval is set up on the event tab of the form properties dialog box.

That's what I did and it worked great! Thanks, xCav8r!

Sometimes communication takes a little extra effort.

So, how about showing us a snapshot of your nifty splash?

[skaseman]

Ok. I made the screen a jpg. How do I get images to "appear"? It's not part of a web, so how do I show something from my hard drive?

(I could submit an attachment, but I suspect there's another way to show an image.)

[xCav8r]

Save it to a web server and post a link to the URL.

[skaseman]

I can just "borrow" someone's web server name?

Sorry for this uneducated (i.e. dumb) question, but I've never done this before...

[xCav8r]

No, you need to have access to a web server on which you can save you image (like you would on your own hard drive). http://www.freewebspace.net/

Let's try this:

My first splash screen

I'd recommend setting the border style to none.

Great idea! Thanks!
