Windows Form Questions..

Tim Smallwood

Hello.. I thought I posted this, but alas I think I may have posted in
the wrong news group.. YIKES! Anyway, please forgive me if I posted this
previously as I'm a little new to this using Developers Dex..

Ok. I want to know how to open forms, load them in memory and hide them,
etc.. My main problem is that I have about 5 forms total that have
various Database functionality .. and a splash screen.. The splash
scrren is the start up form of course and I also use it for a menu.. I
want the user to be able to click a button on the splash screen and open
a form.. I've tried
FrmMyFrm load, show, etc .. ? Also, I'm wanting to load all of the forms
as the application opens, but hide all of them but what I need at the
time, and then show them as the user needs them for speed.. Is this the
correct approach? I mean shoudn't I have the forms in memory for quick
access by the user?

Thanks
Tim
