Using BMP File During Startup

Did this once before long ago but forgot how.

I remember that if you place a BMP file with the same name as your
access application in the root directory that picture file will be
displayed as the program loads.

I did, and it does. But only briefly. The file does load but only
momentarily, then back to the blank grey screen.

I would like to hold the image for the full duration of the load
process. Could use some guidance on this one. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Can't do it. Just use a form in your app that opens with your image at start up
and which uses its own timer event to close after the desired interval. The
splash screen you are talking about has been but the blink of an eye for quite a
while now. Its purpose was for when hardware was slow enough to need a way to
let the user know that the program was actually loading. No such thing is
needed any more.
