Make a form however you want it... in your start up make this your default form.

In the properties of your "Splash Screen" go to event.

Timer Interval: Enter a number here. Each 1000 = about a second

On-Timer: Put the code here to close the splash screen and open whatever form you want next in line.

Hope This Helps.

Hi Bill

How did you open the new form? From a command button, or using the On_Timer Event?

bill,

I used the On_timer Event.

Well in the On Timer Event put this at the end of your coding:

DoCmd.Close acForm, "FormName", acSaveNo

Where "FormName" is the name of your "splash screen"
