>I know there is a way with VFP 5.0 to have it display a splash screen while the application is loading. I can't determine how to do this? Can anyone help?

Create a modal form, put a time on with a interval of about 2500. Make the border double, delte the caption, and sset to .F. the properties of min,max,movable,closable,control. When the timer fires, have the form release.
