Splash Screen Startup
I created a splash screen to run on my excel workbook startup, everything is
working fine except I cannot figure something out. how do I protect, set the property of the form or whatever so that when the splash screen comes up for 5 seconds the user cannot click on the text boxes that are on the screen? When it starts up now you can see the spot where the curser is and you can click on any text box, I dont want the user to see the curser or be able to click on the startup screen. what do I need to change for this to happen? Thanks for all your help! Toxie |

Splash Screen Startup
Set the properties for each text box to Locked (on the Protection tab for
format object). Then use Tools Protection to protect the sheet. Once you protect the sheet the user won't be able to select any of the text boxes. Behind the text boxes already showing, place another large rectangle covering the rest of the splash screen. This way if the user clicks on an area, they're not clicking on a cell.
