HOWTO: Create Top-Level Splash Screen with No TaskBar Icon mskb #

>I have two forms, login and main. When I start my app, login form first appears, asking for username and password. If both fields are correct, main form loads, else, messagebox appears saying "user does not have access.. blah blah blah". My problem is that between the login form and the main form, loading the main form and displaying it takes around 1-2 minutes. I'd like to display a "splash screen" in-between the login and main form to "distract" the user while waiting. How can I load (and display) a splash screen form AFTER the login form WHILE the main form is still loading? Sort of doing a DO FORM splashscreen and following immediately a DO FORM main? Or do a DO FORM main first, and follow immediately a DO FORM splashscreen?
