Splash Screen??	Can't Post

hi, this is probably a nooby question, but what is the code for a child form which loads on startup and exits a few seconds later, and has a splash on it?

make a new progect (stanard form), press alt + p, click add form.

put this into form1

Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Show
Call Sleep(3000)
Form2.Show
Me.Hide
End Sub
