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.
