Splash page be a FLASH file

[Guest]

Hello again all,
I am putting the finishing touches on my first project. All thanks to
eveyone here. I appreciate it.
Access 2000 database.
I would like to play a flash file (.swf) as a splash page. Seems simple
enough, but here I am...
I have code that opens the file, Application.FollowHyperlink "C:\......"

But, what about security warnings and what if client doesn't have flash
player software? I think the client is going to distribute this to a variety
of different types of computers/setup.

Is there a better way to have a flash file be your splash page? Do we need
to have a flash player installed with the exe file?

Any assistance, and you go right to the top of my list... (the good list
that is)

Yes, you must have Flash installed in order to display a flash file.

Since Flash is an 3rd party product, there's nothing within Access that can
turn off its warning messages. For details about how to do that, you'll need
to contact Macromedia, the manufacturers of Flash.
