I have created a splash screen for my database by creating a bitmap file .bmp ,giving it the same name with my database and storing them in the same directory

Now whenever the database is open, the .bmp file opens first. My problem is that i want to delay it to 1 or 2 seconds before is vanishes, Is that possible?
 
Not using the bitmap, no. You can have an Access form splash screen within
the MDB, and control the time that is displayed using the Timer event and
the TimerInterval property.

As Brendan says, you cannot control how long the bitmap is displayed for.

Try using the bitmap as now and placing it on a form which is the first to
open when your database opens, close the form on the timer event.
