littleitaly5588 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hi, I'm in need of directions in developing a "Splash Screen" which opens before a user has to enter a password to open a file. In other words, once the user goes to the Host and clicks on a file name, the "splash screen" appears and then when they click "okay or agree", the password prompt appears. Your help is appreciated!

Ender Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Check this forum for making an opener file: http://www.fmforums.com/threads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1433/page/1/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1 As part of the opener file, you can go to the splash screen and wait for user interaction.

Newbies mfethers Posted April 14, 2004 Newbies Share Posted April 14, 2004 What I would do is create a new file which would be used to open other files, and be the only file visible. Give the new file one layout, the splash / agreement layout, no records and no password (you can also make the file open in a default safe password). Create a startup script which cannot be aborted that goes to the layout, and waits for the user to click "okay" or "agree". That script would then open the real file you want opened, giving the password at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
