On my Switchboard form the timer event cycles through random pictures every 5 seconds. Every time a new picture cycles, a vbCancel message box briefly appears that says:
Code:
Importing     C\Documents and Settings\...\  \...jpg
Is there any way to keep this annoying message box from appearing?

This is my final report of how this situation came out at work. Once TheAceMan1 got me on the right trail I chased that rabbit until it quit running.
To suppress the “Picture Loading” message box you actually have to write two keys to the registry. Paste this into Notepad and name it *.reg. I named mine, “JPG_suppress.reg”
Code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters\Import\JPEG\Options]
"ShowProgressDialog"="No"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Graphics Filters\Import\JPEG\Options]
"ShowProgressDialog"="No"

After you save this as a .reg file, right click it and select, “Merge”.

And by the way, if you want to suppress the annoying warning messages when Access 2003 starts up, paste the following into notepad and name it *.reg. I named mine “Access_2003.reg”.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001

Everything worked great after I took these steps. Might make a good FAQ. Thanks all for your help. Thanks TheAceMan1.
