I have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.
Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.
Is this a possible task?

Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to use a splash screen in the middle of your program? Ex. Can I have a splash screeen to display at the beginning of my database and then have another splash screen open during my program. If i click on a command button to display a form, cause I have a splash screen appear before that form load?
Is till possible while using Data Access Pages as well?
thanks in advance
I need to add another lbl to the following code. Just where to I add the other lbl. I pick this code up somewhere. The code works great. But all I would like to do is add another lbl to the Splash Screen.

I have just created a splash screen for my database.
I was wondering if anyone knows anything else that is good to add to this form which would make it look pretty impressive?
I would like to add a loading bar (Similar to the one that appears at the bottom the page on internet explorer). Does anyone know if this is possible? If so how do you do it?
I've done some searching here, but don't see exactly what I am looking for. I am wanting to attach some code to the timer on a slash screen, or on the close event, to fade the splash screen out. I have looked at the "Cadice Tripp" site. It's fine, but not a fade out. What I want is a simple fade in.... fade out, on the splash screen. Anyone seen any code for this?
Thanks
I would like to have an animated opening screen when the database opens with the autoexec.
I have an animation package called Xara that makes some wonderful 3d animations. I would like to use this in an Access form. Is this possible? Animated GIF or Flash?
If the answer is no, can I call another application to show the animation?
Thanks in Advance - John
I want a progress bar in a form that will increase from bottom to top . The data will from Access table. The bar will start from 0 to Maxvalue. The Maxvalue will be calculated as below:
Total number of batches in the table/ No. of working days between 14072014 and 31112014 / 2
So the above calculation will define the range of a progress indicator.
And now we have to show the % percentage that means how many batches have been scanned for today. For this the following calculations will be used:
Count total batches where scandate=today and scannedby<>null
Now this will show the percentage in the bar that means hopw much work has been completed.
The progress bar should move from bottom to top when % increases.
I have on very large form in my db that takes several seconds to load. I want to optimize things, so I am trying to have it load hidden in the background when the db first starts up, this way it can be immediately called on when it is needed later. Please read further :
I want to have a splash screen that loads as well. I have set the splash screen to the default form when the database opens. However, I am not quite sure how to get the other form to load in the background as hidden, AFTER the splash screen opens and appears. I tried calling it with the oncurrent event of the splash screen, but then splash screen wont appear until after the other (hidden) form has finished loading. I have tried different orders of events, but am having no luck getting the desired results.
Summary: I want the splash screen to show first, then the big form to open (hidden) in the background. The user can click on a continue button on the splash screen and then the main switchboard will open.
All access application is realized as MDI container. (if I'm right)
In this case it is possible to set the MDI object background image instead develop splash screen. This picture always in background form open another forms or reports, does not depend on the screen resolution, etc, etc ... Splash screen must be removed in order to realize the other forms or reports.
How to set Access 2013 application backgroundimage, and backgroundImageLayout?
Hello all,
I have this splash screen, which welcomes all the users. It has an OK command button that exits the screen, and a checkbox that says "Do not show this screen again". I still do not have the code behind the checkbox. Thus I was wondering if there is a way where I could entirelly close or "get rid" of the splash screen until the user loggs in again. Because right now there is no code behind it, so everybody that checks it and click OK, leaves the screen. But they can still open it, if they select the "splash form".
I've changed my splash screen for a database using the method of creating an alternative bitmap.Is there a time setting for this or an alternative?

Is there someone or somewhere where I can get information on how to build one step by step in simple easy instructions....(access 2003).
Also, how do you get access to open all the windows, tables, queries etc in full screen mode.
I have expaneded them and shut it down and then reopened it but they still want to open out of full screen mode.
Thanks, everyone has been a great help in creating my first Access program.

Is there a way to include animated GIF files in an MS-Access form? I've used tons of static images on forms in the past, but never tried an animated image until now. Hopefully it's obvious and I am just having a mental moment!
Many thanks to all,

Is there a way using the OLE Object type to get an Animated Gif to appear on a form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know its possible with the right code because I put animations into my VB assignment last year. I just need to know how to do those group things where several objects of the same type (like twelve picture frames) have the same name and are told apart by a number in brackets. eg. imgThewave(1).
Thanks
I created a splash form, then activated, when ever I go into access
splash form popsup. Is there any way I can disable the splash form, and update my table structure ?
Thanks,
... anyone know how to insert these?
I'd like to put a couple of small animated gifs in one of my forms. Importing them as a picture doesn't give the animation (it's a static picture).
Any thoughts on a simple solution would be appreciated
Cheers

No? Yes? If, so how?

I want to develop an Ms Access Main Form, which will be able to :
Move automatically to the Left of the Database Window
On Mouse over to be able to show with animation (done that)
When Mouse pointer isn’t on the form to be able to hide with animation (partially done, only when the form loses focus)
Actually I want to have a form with buttons placed on the left of my desktop (hiding Ms Access Window – done that after Internet searching), which will be hidden and when I move my mouse pointer over the form to show.
Check my example. I’m waiting for your comments – suggestions
Best Regards
