Public Sub Main()<br />
&nbsp; frmSplash.Show<br />
&nbsp; call InitProgram ' your program initialization<br />
&nbsp; Unload frmSplash<br />
End Sub<br />

A VB newbie needs to know:<br />
<br />
Another programmer I know wants to be able to load forms in the background and continue processing the main program. &nbsp;Note: the forms have alot of controls and take some time to load. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
My question, is there a way to do this?<br />
<br />
If not, I need to be able to tell him why. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks

Background Processing

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
