I want to show a Splash Screen before showing the main form.  In the 
PageLoad routine of my main form, I do the following:

Me.Hide()
SplashForm.TopMost=True
SplashForm.Show()
SplashForm.Update()

It works except for that the main form appears for a second and then 
disappears do to the "Me.Hide" above.  How do I prevent the main form 
from appearing at all??
thanks!!
