Hi everyone,

I would like to open a database, and instead of the traditional gray
background colour, i would like to place a .bmp logo.

Can anyone help me?

Set the Form's Picture property to the path to the logo.
You may also want to set the Picture Tiling, SizeMode, etc. properties
as well.

Thanks Fred, but I think I didn't make my self clear about my prupose.

I don't want o set a image on a form, but in the Access background.

I know it has something to do with the MDI, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

My prupose is to place the entreprise logo on thebackground of the main
ACCESS window.

Everytime I open MSACCESS I have the company logo...

I think It's possible, but I don't knoe how to do it :S

See:
http://www.lebans.com/changemdibackground.htm
Updated May 03,2003 Now allows you to select a Bitmap Image to place in the
background of the MDI window. No Subclassing required

ChangeMDIBackGround.zip is a database containing a function to allow you to
specify a color or Bitmap Image for the background of the main Access MDI
window. NO SUBCLASSING REQUIRED!

Release Notes:

Version 3

Added support to allow you to specify a Bitmap Image to be placed into the
background of the MDI window.

Thankyou very much Stephen,

The prupose is exactly that, but I would like to set it by default, when i
open the database, but i didn't find how :(

I'm quiet new on those matters :S

If you could help me a little more, i would apreciate it :)

Stephen's SetMDIBackGroundImage fuction has an optional parameter by which
you can supply the path of the file to be loaded

Create a macro that calls this function specifying the path to your graphic
and save it as 'autoexec'

It will automatically be run at application start up loading the required
image

Can this be done with Access '97 as well? I have an ooooold application in
Access 97 but I get an error when I attempt to run this database.
Unfortunately, I can't upgrade the app at this time to a newer version.

So much for paying attention -- the name of the app is actually
A97ChangeMDIBackgroundVer8 -- but it generates errors when I attempt to run
it for some reason.

What errors are generated when you attempt to call the function?

It could be an issue with the References collection, Stephen: I seem to
recall that I've run into those a couple of times with some of your
applications.

To the original poster: with any module open, select Tools | References from
the menu. Examine all of the selected references (they'll always be at the
top of the list). If any of the selected references have "MISSING:" in front
of them, unselect them, and back out of the dialog. Since Stephen's unlikely
to have included the reference if you didn't need it, go back into the
dialog, scroll through the list until you find the reference you just
deleted, and reselect it.

If none have "MISSING:", select an additional reference at random, back out
of the dialog, then go back in and unselect the reference you just added. If
that doesn't solve the problem, try to unselect as many of the selected
references as you can (Access may not let you unselect them all), back out
of the dialog, then go back in and reselect the references you just
unselected. (NOTE: write down what the references are before you delete
them, because they'll be in a different order when you go back in)

Recognize that such problems occur because of version differences between
your machine and the one on which Stephen developed the application. It's
possible that Stephen wrote the application prior to a particular service
pack, and never replaced the version on his site, or that you haven't got
all the service packs on your machine.

Hi Doug,
I agree there are a couple(several/many) solutions on my site with
unneeded(is that a word?) References. This happens usually when I take an
existing solution of mine and modify it for another use without checking
whether the existing References are required.
In this case though, there are no extra Ref's set other than the default
ones for the MDI background solution..

Are you guys getting this 20 degree Celsius weather for the last few weeks
that we are experiencing? We've broken every single high temp record that
existed over the last two weeks.
I love Global Warming!

Excellent. That worked. What was missing was "Microsoft Visual Basic for
Applications Extensibility version 5.3." When I deselected it, then opened it
back up, I did not have the selection for v5.3. Just ""Microsoft Visual Basic
for Applications Extensibility" without a version number. I selected that,
closed the database, reopened it and it worked. This will make a vast
improvement in appearance to my old app written in '99.
