Access message that pops up when importing a logo onto a form

On a number of my forms I have an image field. In the form load event, the
image field "Picture" property is set. Here's the code I use:

DoCmd.Echo False
'Load the logo by calling a global subroutine
Call SetLogo (Me.Name)
DoCmd.Maximize
DoCmd.Echo True

This all works fine and has never failed. But here's the problem. On some
forms, MS Access displays a progress bar type form that says:

Importing C:\LogoName

Where C:\LogoName is just an example name for the logo file.

I find this annoying and I think it detracts from the app appearing
professional. I thought the DoCmd.Echo statements would prevent this from
happening. Also, this only happens the first time the logo is set on the
form during a session. Thereafter I haven't seen it happen again. This
problem also seems to occur mostly on forms that load relatively slowly, but
not always.

Does anyone have any ideas on this? Surely, I can't be the only who gets
this message.

Thanks in advance.
 
I believe this happens only when you import a file with a filetype that has
to go thru one of the graphics filters to interpret the data stream. See
what happens if you change to a bmp file. Bob.
