Creating a Microsoft Access Splash Screen
Software applications often display a splash screen when launching. With Microsoft Access you will often see the splash screen displayed before being presented with the database switchboard or similar form. The splash screen in Microsoft Access will usually display a logo of the company that has created the database application, contact details of the person responsible for the administration and maintenance of the database or will sometimes display other useful information or tips associated with the database. We can use the screen to display randomly selected tips or help topics, providing the tip will benefit the end user. To avoid irritating the user, we should also provide them with the option of not having the splash screen appear in the future.

User Tips: Renaming Access Database Tables
I'd been trying for days to rename a Microsoft Access table from ASP. Apparently it's easy to rename a SQL Server table using a stored procedure (exec sp_rename oldtable, newtable), but there isn't an equivalent that works in Access.

Hardly efficient and really ugly.
