Splash Builder will let you create a quality splash screen for your MS Access database in minutes. This feature rich stand alone tool will take away the pain of building a splash screen for your database.
Features: This Splash Builder provides a whole range of features that lets you make splash screen quickly and export to the Access application easily. You can have a transparent background selection. The time it takes for the splash screen to appear at boot time can be programmed over a range. Color selection is through Windows color selection dialog so that you get access to the whole range of colors that is available n Windows. This applies equally to text and background color selections. Opacity can be controlled from 10% to all the way to 100%. Text can be formatted the way you want the string to appear. Rich text format areas are provided for the purpose.
Image or logo selection can be browsed through and selected for insertion into the splash, with resizing feature built in. You can use the image in a full screen mode too, if you prefer that. Full preview lets you see what you are building and backtrack if you need to. The connection to database and start of the application immediately after the splash screen has been displayed is possible. Build info section lets you update the version information. You are able to create names for the finished application. For making sure the application works well you have live testing of the screen available to you during the development. Once done you can choose to have the option to include it or not in the auto exec batch file. You can build an unlimited number of splash screens. Splash Builder will also create your desktop shortcut!
Overall: It is an easy to use tool to create and deploy splash screens for your Microsoft Access applications.
