these are called "splash screens" and are simply a regular form with lots of code attached. i think i got mine to work buy copying much of the code from the northwind database. or you can do a search with the keywords "splash screen" in these forums and online.
alternatively, you can make a form and have it set at the default form in your database. the way you would do this depends on which vesion of access you are using.

Also look up top "startup form" - which is how you do a "splash screen"
There used to be another method that would allow you to replace the "MS Access" logo (which is the REAL splash screen) with your own .BMP - which surely could have some notices on it. However, the login information also overlays that .BMP so you have to leave room for what gets overlaid.

but basically
but now you also have to find a way to stop the user bypassing this startup code
Code:
Sub testit()
Dim daystogo As Long
If DateValue(Date) > DateValue("31/12/2008") Then
'force app quit
End If
daystogo = DateValue("31/12/2008") - Date
If daystogo < 100 Then
MsgBox (daystogo & " days to go")
End If
End Subbut now you also have to find a way to stop the user bypassing this startup code
