>>The VB App I'm working on starts from a Sub Main() in a module, displays a splash screen while the rest of the app is initializing, and then hides the splash screen right after loading the main form. With one exception, everything works fine. The splash screen is transparent, and has no objects on it. Pardon the pun, but clearly this is not the behavior I intended. The splash screen is based on the splash form template provided with VB6.

Actually, I'm using the following syntax.

frmSplash.Show(modal)

The form "shows", but is transparent. None of the objects on the form are visible. The border of the form is clearly visible, but the rest is not.

Thanks for the suggestion.
