I have created a Form called frmspash,
Can someone please tell me how to show the form for a few seconds then
remove it.

I can call it and it loads but always behind the current screen

    'do some other stuff like loading graphics or whatever
    'or call a delay such as Sleep API

    Me.Show
    Unload frmSplash
End Sub

--I don't need to test my programs. I have an error-correcting modem.

Here's how:

1. Double click timer control
2. While timer gizmo is selected, use the properties menu to name it
something like tmrSplash and set the Interval to something like 3500
(for 3 and a half seconds, or some other value if you want it
displayed longer or shorter).  
3. Double click on the timer gizmo to open its timer event.  
4. Put instructions to unload the current form and then load the next
one.  

You will probably also want to change the mouse pointer to an
hourglass while the timer control is displaying the splash.  

Here's how:

1. Select the form that is current
2. In the properties box, change the "MousePointer" value to 11 -
Hourglas (Or one of the other values).

To avoid using another control, place this in a module and set the project
properties startup object as Sub Main

Sub Main()
    frmSplash.Show
    pausetime = 3 'number of seconds you want
    Start = Timer 'this is not a timer control
    Do While Timer < Start + pausetime
        DoEvents
    Loop
    Unload frmSplash
    frmMain.show
End Sub
