If you are wanting to replace the Access logo that appears when you
open your database, then just create your graphic as a GIF file. Save
it with the same name as you mdb file but with the .gif extension.
Place this file in the same folder as your mdb file. Now when you
open your mdb file it will display your GIF file.

If you are only wanting to show a GIF file while some other process is
going on (after Access is loaded) then create a form. Place your
graphic file on this form and open the form using the startup
options. Once you are ready for something else to be displayed, have
your code to close the graphic form and display the desired form.

I can't give you specifics but here is maybe an idea if you have
WindowsXP ---
Store your GIFs in a common folder. Windows has a slide presentaion. Use the
Shell function to launch the slide presentation.

Lassaad,

Here is a way that you can display a form (have the picture already on
the form) for a specified amount of time at startup.

First, specify the form that is to open when Access opens in the
"Display Form/Page:" option from the Tools/Startup dialog box.

Then use the "On Timer" event of that form and create the following
code:

DoCmd.Close acForm, "NameOfYourFirstForm"
DoCmd.OpenForm "NameOfYourNextForm"

Next, you will need to specify the amount of the interval at which the
code avobe is to run. You do this by entering a value in your forms
"Timer Interval" property. If you want the first form to be visible
for 4 seconds, just put 4000 in the "Timer Interval" property.

With these thing completed. close your database and reopen it. The
first form should be displayed because you specifiec it in the
"Display Form/Page:" option dialog box and then 4 seconds later, your
first form should close and your second form should be displayed.

Now, if you want to have more graphics to be displayed in some order,
then just create a form for each graphic and use the "On Timer" event
of each form for code that will close the previous form and open the
next form. You also need to specify the "Timer Interval" property
for each form.

You could have as many of these in succession as you need.
