Create a form as a splash screen (Controlbox = .f., title = "" etc) and set window type to SDI. In config.fpw :

Of course, it is limited to the time of initial loading, just like the default VFP splash logo, but it worked great for us here to help the user realize that YES, he did double-click on the shortcut and is IS loading...

Yes certainly easier but different. It only changes the BMP and as far as I understand that's what you want. The method I suggested is a little more complex I know but it has the control of background preparation + could interact with user such as a login id, "don't show this again" checkbox etc.
