Hi,

In the Activated event of the splash form put
VB Code:
  1. Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000)

  2. Me.Close


To make this work properly, assuming your designed forms are named fclsSplash and fclsMain, use a Module and make the Sub main your startup object. In athe Module put

VB Code:
  1. Dim frmSplash as fclsSplash

  2. Friend frmMain as fclsmain

  3.  
  4.  
  5. Public Sub Main()

  6.    frmSplash = New fclsSplash

  7.    frmSplash.ShowDialog

  8.    frmMain = New fclsMain

  9.    Application.Run(frmmain)

  10. End Sub
