Is Sub Main Really Necessary?

I loaded a Program that I had partially completed in VB 4. It converted the files, only loaded 2 forms 16 & 17 and then declared it could not find sub main. I thought that Form1 was the default loader and my splash screen
was form1. where should I put a sub main and would that force the loading of all 20 other forms?

Sub Main is necessary if you don't want a Form

add a .bas, put a sub_main in it, have the only line be form1.show, change your startup object to sub_main and you should be all set.

But yeah, sub_main is only necessary if you don't have a form. The above is hopefully a workaround for you.

Thanks ALL!!
