Pre-loading Forms

[gnmaier]

How do you pre-load forms in Access to speed their loading time later. I want to load a large form from a splash screen with out it being visible.

I have tried DoCmd.Openform "Formname",,,,,acHidden
in the splash screen's onload event but the splash screen won't load until after the large form has loaded.

I just can't get it right.

Thanks

Did you try it in an autoexec macro? Terry M. Hoey

The splash form loads at startup, but I am trying to get the onload event of this form to load the larger form for later use. This works except that the splash form remains invisible until the other form has finished loading. I have tried a variety of things but no luck.

Thanks for your reply I will try it.
