So I added a splash screen using the method of giving the "same
filename.bmp" to the graphic as the .mdb filename. The splash screen
shows for about half a second. Followed by the Switchboard covering
it and then the splash screen disappears.

How can I correct? Access2000, Win2000.

The old "samenameasmdbfile.bmp" trick used to work when computers were
vastly slower than they are now. To create an effective splash screen
simply create a unbound form and place your image on it. Then you can
set the timer's interval property to 5,000 (milliseconds = 5 seconds)
and code (either vba or recorded macro) to automatically close the
form and display the switchboard.

If you don't know how to code reply and I'll show you.

Whats the behavior you are looking for? I'm not thinking there is
anything wrong with what you described. If you are looking for an
intentional delay and the splashscreen is being closed because of some
functionality in the switchboard then maybe an idea would be to add a
timer to the On Open event of the main form which should force the
form to stop loading for a period of time so it wont close the spash
screen. I don't use switchboards, so I'm not aware of issues there.
