Creating a splash screen.

[lonesomejubilee]

Hi.

Is there a way to create a splash screen, set a timer to shut it off and then go to a layout? And can you make this splash screen without the tool bar on the left... and then when it opens the second layout.. have the tool bar re appear?

It's probably easy, but I'm new.

Hi Vandy -

You can do this using a startup script. All the items you want are available from scripting in 7, including resizing the splash screen.

Download the free starter template from the samples section and you can see a splash screen in action. It is fully unlocked so feel free to poke around.

Thanks Andy, but I get an error when I try to download the file.

Here is a rough example of one way to do this. (File attached)

Thanks a million reed....

I knew how to do it in access, I just didn't know how to set the timer in FM P... I read the script and I see how it's done now. Thanks again.

(PS Go Vikes!)

Ooops. Forgot to reset the permissions on the cgi script after I changed it last night! My Bad!!!

Feel free to download now. All working again.
