ADT2: ADT Splash Screen Is Not Repainted

 Last reviewed: May 14, 1997
Article ID: Q117916
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

If you specify a splash, or startup, screen in your custom application's .INI file and you have security enabled, the application's Logon dialog box will overlay the splash screen. If you move the Logon dialog box, the splash screen is not repainted.

RESOLUTION

Do not move the Logon dialog box when you are logging into a Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit-developed run-time application.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit (ADT) version 2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access Developers Toolkit for Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Create a Microsoft Access application.

  2. Use the ADT Setup Wizard to create Setup disks for your application. Make sure to include a secured SYSTEM.MDA file and a .BMP file with your application.

  3. Add the following lines to your application's .INI file: 

          [Run-Time Options]
      StartupScreen=<yourapp>.bmp

  4. Use the Setup disks to install your application.

  5. Double-click the icon that your application's Setup creates. When the Logon dialog box appears, move the dialog box. Note that the bitmap image is not repainted.
