Are you sure the timer is enabled? It isn't by default.

A slightly different approach is to control loading and unloading the flash form from somewhere else rather than doing so from within the flash form itself. Make "Sub Main" your startup routine and then something like

Sub Main()

frmFlash.Show

[COLOR=black cyan]' Do some initialization stuff[/color]

frmMain.Show
frmMain.ZOrder 0

frmFlash.Unload

End Sub

That way the flash form disappears when you are ready to start the main form rather than relying on some timed process that may be either too long (or not long enough) for your requirements.
