ADT2: ADT Splash Screen Is Not Repainted

• Microsoft Access Developer's Toolkit, version 2.0

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.
