>>There is no Valid event that I know of for forms. But I'll tell you how to use a timer.
>>
>>1. Drop a timer object in your SplashScreen form.
>>2. Set the 'interval' property on the timer object to the time desired (in milliseconds)
>>3. Put your 'DO FORM' & 'RELEASE THISFORM' clauses in the timer method of the object.
>>
>>What this does is: when the splash screen starts, the timer starts ticking and when it reaches the number of milliseconds you asigned to it, it triggers the timer method for the object; calling your next form, and releasing the one used as a splash screen.
>>

>>Hope it helps.
>>Tell me out it comes out.

>>>Thanks for the help. I haven't used a timer before ... is there a Valid Event into which I will want to put the DO FORM statement to start the next form when the splash screen disappears?
