How could I turn off the Access Initial Start Up Picture?

[Guest]

How could I turn off the Access Initial Start Up Picture? My user wants to
go into the form or report directly without seeing the initial start up
picture. Any idea?

If you place a bmp picture file in the same dir as the mdb file, then you
will see the picture in place of the ms-access tuff.

You of course set the starting form in the tools->startup.

And, if you want no picture, then just make a real tiny 2x2 picture.......

So, if my program was called


billCollections.mdb

I would palde a picutre file of

billCollections.bmp

in the same dir...

I tried to put the two files together under one directory, for example

Account.mdb
Account.bmp

The Access initial start up picture still comes out when the Access opens.
Is this something we need to under the Program File under Access program?

You can take a quick look at the tools->startup.

perhaps we are confusing the ms-access splash screen that appears (quickly)
at startup. Placing a picture file of type bmp in the same dir as the
application, and with the same name does substitute your splash screen in
place of the ms-access one.

After ms-access loads, then the main form, or often what is called a
switchboard shows.

Are you taking about the splash screen, or the main form here?
