hi another way of splash screens is the type which exits on click you can simply call the splash screen on the main form load event and in the splashcreen on click dispose it. this way if you dont like to use timers

SplashScreen.cs - Splash form MainScreen.cs - Main form MainScreen.cs code this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; SplashScreen.cs code private bool isFirstTimeTick = true; private MainScreen mainScreen; public static void Main(} { Application.Run(new SplashScreen()); } private void SplashScreen_Load() { //myTimer delay would be 5 secs myTimer.start(); } private void myTimer_Tick { if(isFirstTimeTick) { isFirstTimeTick = false; mainScreen = new MainScreen(); mainScreen.Show(); } else { this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; this.Visible = false; mainScreen.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; myTimer.Stop(); } }

I did it with a good old fashioned Timer control...the form closes itself after the tick. -James
