timer control

[bill]

This has to be simple but I cant figure it out

I have 2 forms

one form opens and I have a timer control close it after
5 seconds. How do I get the second form to open
automatically.

IF someone could give a code example

Thanks

Well, that's simple enough. You have the timer set with Interval of 5000.
When loading the first form, you let it start: Timer1.Start()

Now, all the other work is done by the Tick event of the timer.
Attach the following code to it:

Me.Close()
Dim F As New OtherForm
F.Show()

Where OtherForm is the name of the class of the second form.
