splash screen

63
Hi all
I am making a desktop(windows) Application using vb.net.The problrm is
I cannot close the Splash screen in the splash screen I am activating
the main form.Once this is done I close the splash screen . but when
I try to do this the main form gets closed( means totally the application gets closed).
Is there any way of activating main form from splash screen and then disposing the splash
screen without affecting the main form
How do I do this in VS2003?
PLs help me if you can. Thanks in advance
bye Paulson
