[Year 12 IT Apps] Splash Screen in Access 07

[Brett Groves]

Hi Jock,

If by splash screen you mean a form that opens as like a master form (ie 
a switchboard) then create the form anyhow you want and go to the 
ridiculous Windows symbol in the top left corner of the toolbar and 
select Access options then 'this database' and one of the options is to 
select a form to open when the database initialises. Select the form you 
have just made and there you go.
You can remove the navigation bars and the min/max by changing the form 
properties and hide the navigation pane by default in Access options if 
you wish. Users then have little choice but to enter the DB through your 
front form/splash screen, whatever you want to call it.

Hope this helps
