Hi Styze, Use a timer control on the form instead. Use the interval property to set how long you want the form running and the timer method to release the form once interval has passed. I'll email you an example. I use them for my "Splash" screens all the time.
Also used it once to flash up a form with a screen size picture of Linda Blair in the Exorcist for one of my clients. I told him over and over not to play practical jokes on me... revenge was sweet watching him nearly fall off his chair with fright. Oh the geeky humour...
