Here is information on how to make a splash screen in Excel:

Perhaps you can change the code a bit to use an image.

For instance, set the Visible property of the image to True, and after the
short periode of time, set it back to Visible = False.

I would like to have an embedded image be shown for a few seconds on the
startup of a XL workbook.

The flash screen image would be embedded in the workbook.

Can anyone help?
