Thanks. I had noticed that, but when I messed with it would not work. I basically removed that from the intial main form and then pasted it into the splash form and then selected the splash form as startup (now that it shows up). Here is a clip of the code relating to where it goes.

static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new frmSplash());
}

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container();
this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(300,300);
this.Text = "frmSplash";
}
