The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

SYMPTOMS
========

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.
