Hello OOzy,

Try adding a Timer control to the splash screen and set the Interval property for the number of milliseconds to display the form (number of seconds * 1000).

In the handler for the Timer event, hide and then unload the splash screen.

For example:
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
frmSplash.Hide
Unload frmSplash
End Sub


In the handler for your startup form_load event, show the splash screen.

For example:
Private Sub MDIForm_Load()
frmSplash.Show
End Sub


This worked quite well for me when I tested it.
Hope this helps,
Pete
