Open form for a 3 sec count then close it 1

[splats]

Hello

I would like to have a popup form open when the startup form is opened in my access 2000 database. I would like the popup form to only stay open for 3 seconds and then close on it's own. I know how to open the popup (in the form load event of the startup form) but I am not sure on what code to use in-between the open and close codes of the popup form. Any help would be appreciated.

maybe import sleep from the standard windows dll:

Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

than you can load the popup, have it sleep for 3 seconds, then close it? I've had problems with this at times, but maybe it will work for you.

I think it would be easier to setup the form's Timer to 3000 (3 seconds ) and make the On Timer routine close the form with a regular

DoCmd.Close

This should take take of your problem.
