I would like to get rid of the stupid title bar, but I can’t find the right properties to set. Any ideas…?

Well, thanks a lot dick, yes it is.
How did I over look that! Idea for blog post - adding music to your splash screen, might as well go the whole hog!

I need to spend some (a lot) time on it, need to come up with ideas, that:

a) are well thought out, valid and accurate
b) worth while and that are sort of as "generic" as possible
c) not done in lots of other places
d) spell checked!!!!

I think something about controls might be on the cards

Charlie: The first rule of asking Excel questions is “Be Specific” What doesn’t work? Make sure you have a userform named ufSplash. Then Tools>Macros>Macros and run StartProgram. Drop me an email if you want me to send my example workbook.

Ross: Great article. I think I disagree with the one reason for splash screen. What about showmanship? You've got to keep bugging the users to get updates, register the product, and reminding them who wrote this great program they use everyday. Nevertheless, I think that article makes some excellent points.

Am I right to assume that's your website? What's the schedule for more content? Let me know when you want a plug and you got it. I love the concept on the home page.

Well this doesn't work. Now what?

do you have to add Load.frmSplash before frmSplash.Show?

I have tried different things and no go.
