I would like to create a splash screen where you will see a form briefly with
the company logo and then move straight to another form for example the
switchboard, how do I do this.

Hope someone can help

Thanks
 
Hi

Create a form Called frmLogo
Create a second form Called frmSplash

In design view for the form frmLogo properties, set the following values...

Record Source. Blank
Default View. Single Form
Data Entry. No
Record Locks. No Locks
Scroll Bars. Neither
Record Selectors. No
Navigation Buttons. No
Dividing Lines. No
Auto Centre. Yes
Pop Up. Yes
Modal. Yes
Border Style. Dialogue
Control Box. No
Min Max Buttons. None
Close Button. No

On Timer. Create an event procedure as follows..

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogo"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMainMenu", acNormal
End Sub

Set the timer interval to 5000
This is the equivelant to 5 seconds

of course you can name the forms anything you like.

Sorry in advance to the pro's I know it a bit rough but it works.

Sorry

The On Timer procedure should read as follows for that scenario

Private Sub Form_Timer()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmLogo"
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSplash", acNormal
End Sub
