Hi,
I have a splashscreen set up to display for 3 seconds on starting up my Access database. Due to response time issues over the network, I want to amend the process so that at startup a number of tables that are fairly static are copied into the front end for lookups, etc.
What I'd like to do is display the splashscreen for the duration of the data load and once the data is loaded display the main menu (another form). I have taken the timer off the splashscreen form, and invoke the sub that creates the lookup tables from the form load event, then open the main menu.
However, the splashscreen is now not displayed at all. Is there a recognised way to do this?
