Where is the startup manager in 2007
I can't even find the word splashscreen or spash screen in 07 help. I
inherited a database that uses switchboards and want a splashscreen so they can either go into it, or open a utilities form where I throw my own options and functionality. But I dont see anything on splashscreens, the startup manager to determine which form opens at startup. Only the switchboard manager. And switchboards are idiotic. That level of complexity and abstraction to simply open forms and reports is imbecillic. One form, one function, one button, one function. Its much easier to build, reverse engineer, document. These switchboards are nuclear powered pencil sharpeners. Moronic. Code should only be as complex as its functionality and features require. Looping through tables with ADO, to see how many buttons a form has, their captions and functionality is incredibly pointless. Who designed it, someone on a Tandy with 256K memory? Forms use virtually no file size. What are the advantages of eliminating a handful of dedicated forms with 500 lines of code, so womeone as MS or Wrox could impress people? Now this concoluted switchboard nonsense has to be revese engineered, altered, documented, maintained, passed on. Code bumming - Learn it, master it, or get out of the business. |
