Splash Screen

I want to make a Splash Screen that after 5 seconds wuits itself and opens a new exe-file, but i dont know how to do becuase im a newbie in VB script....
Can anyone help me?

On the form, add a timer. Once the form has been loaded, in the form_load() proc, enable it.

VB Code:

' In the Timer
Dim Run as Long
 
Run = Shell("C:\MyProgramme\FileName.exe")
Unload Me: End

Set the timers interval to 5000 (5 Secs)

Add a timer, set it's interval to 5000

in the timer's event


Shell "c:\file.exe"
Unload me




PS: what's "wuits"?

Actually, take out the unload me :)

Well . . . since you were being picky, I will too!!!! If your app is in the root of the c drive then app.path = C:\ so your code would try to open c:\\filename.exe ( I know cause this burned me once! )

So, it should be . . .

VB Code:

If right(app.path,1) = "\" then
   Shell App.Path & "filename.exe"
Else
   Shell App.Path & "\filename.exe"
End if
