>I want to have my program start with the main form without the user ever having to use the quickstart or the menu. In other words, I want my main form to run on startup immediately following the splash screen (if I choose to use a splash screen) and I don't want the window with the toolbars and menus on it to be visible. How should I set this up?

To get the form to appear, after your splash screen just put

DO FORM mainform.scx
