I want to add a simple splash screen to a program I'm making because the main form takes several second to load it's controls.

To do this I was thinking just two forms, one is the splash, one is the main form. Form1 will be the main, Form2 the splash. I can get the program to start up on Form2, and I can get Form2 to open Form1, but I can't get Form1 to close Form2! At least not without error or closing itself or some other issue.

Any ideas?
