Hello !

Anyone out there has any idea how to startup my database with a flash movie or something similar and later opens the switchboard?

I think i'll have to incorporate the flash movie in a Page but how do I open the switchboard automatically after the flash movie ends? Any ideas anyone?
Also, what do you think I should add to the database to make it look more 'professional'?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know about the flash stuff, but if you create a .bmp file with the same name as your db (and put it in the same dir) it will show up as the splash screen. To automatically open the switchboard, look under "Tools - > Startup". There you can select forms (or the switchboard) to open when the database is opened. The only thing I can suggest for a "professional" look would be to make the forms look really nice format wise. You can throw in a nice background image and some fancy fonts... whatever tickles your pickle.
