Add Enduser Logo to an Application 2

[DanLo]

I have created an application that I'm going to be marketing. Each Enduser will probably have their own Logo and business information (i.e., address, phone number,etc.). I have a picture (a .bmp file) in the form that currently contains the above information for my company. However, when I package this application, I want the new enduser to be able to have their information automatically placed in the 'Logo' area when the application runs for the first time on their system.

How can I do this?

I believe the sample database that comes with access (northwind.mdb) has a splash screen on startup, there is an option that can be selected 'do not show splashscreen at startup' or something to this effect.

Anyway :I

I believe that you could create a bound image within your form, say logo.bmp. if you set the form to search the databases current directory for this image you would only have to replace the logo for each deployment.

I hope this helps a little.

I know this doesn't "automatically" do what you want, but if you tell your user's that "if you place a bitmap image called LOGO.BMP in the following directory, your logo will be displayed". Then all you need to do is set your code to use what ever image is in that file. You would want to handle the case that their image is the wrong size or if there was no image to load (If file exists, use it, otherwise, use something else).

Hope that helps. Terry M. Hoey
