Avoiding startup Ugliness

Hi:

When Access opens, the user gets a glimpse of table lists and other ugliness before the
startup screen appears (set in the startup process). Is there some way that i can avoid
this and even maybe have some sort of image or form that appears. The key issue is when a
user opens the applications, I don't want them to see the "engine", just the user end of
the application.

Regards

John,
Tools + StartUp
Remove the check from the Display Database Window box.

To show the database window while the database is open, press F11.
To bypass the startup completely, hold down the Shift key when opening
the database.

You can place a .bmp file with the same name as the app, in the same
directory as your app, and it will show up as your "splash screen".

There are situations in which you have to setup a faily sophisticated environment before running your tests. This may result in a long startup time. In my case (using PloneTestCase) the time taken to import all the needed libraries, create a plone site and set up the environment, is so long that practically I cannot use my good old Pentium II for running the test cases. Notice that the problem is not in the time spent on the

I'm using VB.Net 2005 beta 2 and have my login form (login.vb) specified as the startup form. If the user is successful logging in, I call my main form (main.vb). This all works fine but the problem is that the login form stays open. I put a me.close (in the login form) after opening the main form but that seems to close everything and the main form is not displayed. I thought I could call a Sub Main() that calls the login form, closes...

This is probably a silly question, but I've gotten myself confused. My app has two forms, form1 and form2. form1 is the start up object in the propers. An event in form1 instantiates form2.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
