EGO Pop-up window

[macdoum]

Ok. I know about the startup in the tools menu.

But what I would like to di is when the Database is accessed, a pop-up
window "pops out" and shows the name of my database, and the creator's
name [that would me !]. It would show for a few second AND AFTER THAT,
my main switchboard would appear.

Is that in anyway possible ?

Thanks in advance,

Marc

if you have problems getting it to work for you.

Sure. It's called a "Splash Screen". Make it the form opened at
Startup; set its Timer property to 5000 (milliseconds, for a
five-second delay). In its OnTimer event put code like

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSwitchboard"
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End Sub

Many Thanks !

I did what you told me to do. My little splash screen worls fine.

What could I do so that when the splash screen closes, my mains form
appears ?

I tried to make some sort of code in the "On Close" field but nothin
happens... How can I do this work ?

Yhanks,

Marc.

If your main form is named "frmSwitchboard" it will - or, just change
the line that says

DoCmd.OpenForm

to refer to the desired formname.

Zila, I'm sorry, but no one will understand you if you do not provide
more information.

What is your "pop up"?

What can you do to make it "be ok"?

What did you do to make it the startup form?

In what way does it not work?
