Help!! Calling a form from another form

[Chuck Hecht]

Here is my problem and I am not sure why I can not see the answer.

I have an app that started out with 1 form and many panels all works fine.

I have a Sub Main in a module (HandleData) >> Application.Run(frmMain)
My problem is that I am filling 12 data tables in a dataset from xml files
at program start and I need to display a form will this is processing. So
the new form would display right a way. while that form is up it would start
the other form which would start my data table loading and a wait cursor
would be displayed. When form2 is displayed the new form would go away.

Any help would be great.

Sounds like a typical splash screen scenario. Check out this article, but I
believe there are some issues with this exact approach, so do a search on
"splash" for this newsgroup.
