I know you can rename a bitmap file and store the file in the same folder as the database to create a splash screen. My current splash screen only displays for a split second. How can I create a splash screen that will display for 5 seconds and close to the switchboard?

I was able to find the answer. Here it is:

1. Create a new form.
2. Set Properties:
Scrollbars=Neither
RecordSelectors=No
NavigationButtons=No
AutoResize=Yes
AutoCenter=Yes
BorderStyle=None
PopUp=Yes
Modal=Yes
3. Set form's TimerInterval Property to number of seconds displayed.
4. Timer_Event:
DoCmd.Close
5. Unload_Event
DoCmd.Open "Switchboard"
