I have 3 forms that take forever and a day to load. Is there a way to load the forms but keep them hidden while the splash screen is on? If so how do you do that?

If you use the DOCMD to open the form, there is an option to open the form HIDDEN. And if it takes a long time to load, I would not let the user close the form. I would have a close button, but when the button is clicked, I would hide the form and not close it.

Thanks, I also read that removing the "Auto-Correct Text" option speeds up loading. I didn't think too much of it, but tried it, and what do ya know it did speed up the loading. But will add the close button that just hides the forms. Thanks for the suggestion.
