Splash screen won't load

[B.Fenella]

My splash screen isn't fully loading before the main form loads.
The splash screen caption bar appears but the rest of the screen is
transparent.
I'm displaying a splash screen at the beginning of my startup module, but
most of the startup work is done when I load the first form. The main form
has to scale and draw several maps whilst it is loading which takes ages.
I need my splash screen to load and then stay visible until I've loaded the
main form.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Fen

Right after you Show your splash screen, Refresh it.

frmYourSplashScreen.Show
frmYourSplashScreen.Refresh
'
' The rest of your code goes here
'

Thanks, that worked. I wasn't expecting such a simple solution!
