Hello all!

I made an application based on an acces form for my final year of study.
Since I have to present to my teachers for a final examination, I want
to impress them!!!

That's why I want to give to my application a professional look, and
have, sort of like any regular program, a loading window appear before
using the program itself (just like in photoshop or any program where
there's a nice image and infos while you are waiting for it to load
fonts and stuffs...).

How could I do this??

Insert a flash loop or an image before running the application?

What do you all think of this?

Cheers

You didn't mention which version of Access you are using.

Have you looked into creating a form you could display during "startup" and
setting the startup (Tools|) to that form? You can add a Timer event on
that form if you want some simple, time-related actions to happen.

I'm not sure about embedding a flash component, but one possibility you
could look into would be using the above startup form/timer event to shell
out to another program.

(Hopefully your instructors will be more interested in the structure and
user-friendliness of your application than your startup screen...!)

Good luck

Of course!!! My instructors are looking for areliable and user friendly
database application which is what I 'm getting down to!!!
But this intro will give a plus to the app!
I use MS Access 2000 to answer your question
I think I'm gonna create a start form which will disappear on a timer
event and have my application form appear behind that...
Anyways I'll post some more questions on the user friendliness of my app
in the week!

cheers nico
