Open Splash Form - Close Splash & Load Form1

[jokerfool]

Retyped:

Splash screen appears, there is a button to continue. When button is pressed, Splash disappears and Form1 is loaded.

I've used the Splash.hide() to hide the splash, but then I red somewhere that you should close the forms if they're not being used.

So in this instance I have used:

Form1.Show()
        Me.Hide()

Is this the correct sequence to closing the other form. If not can I use this command when the user has finished to close the main form which hopefully closes everything else where I used the .hide.

Application.Exit()
