I am trying to make it so that when the spash screen timer ends it opens the report form. Its working on closing the splash window on timer and opening the reportform, but the reportform keep showing over and over every 8 seconds... Please can someone help me?

Here is the code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

   Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
        Me.Visible = False
        Dim MyForm As ReportForm
        MyForm = New ReportForm
        MyForm.Show()
    End Sub

I odn't know VB.NET but I know what the problem is. YOu never disabled your timer when you opened the window. I'm expecting it to be something along the lines of...

(Toggle Plain Text)

   Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
        Timer.Enabled = False
        Me.Visible = False
        Dim MyForm As ReportForm
        MyForm = New ReportForm
        MyForm.Show()
    End Sub

I dunno if enabled is the property for timers in VB.Net.. but try that out. All ya got to do is disable the timer. If ya need more help IM me, g'day all
