Problem with a timer

[devonknows]

hi, ive been working on a timer, to close my splash screen after to 3 seconds on load up the main form. now it goes through all the form_load section and at the end of form load ive put in splashtimer.ena bled = true (interval is already set at 3000) Private splashtimer_tim er() runs and hides frmSplash and Shows MainAlbumForm,

now the problem i get is when i try and close MainAlbumForm, everytime i click the Close button (top right X) it re-opens after 3 seconds, when i make the exe, i cant stop the program without actually going into taskmanager,

please any advice you can give on this i would be most greatful, ive even tried putting
splashtimer.ena bled = false at the end of the Private Sub splashtimer_tim er()

so any help would be appreciated

Kind Regards
Devon.

I think you'll find that unloading the splash form rather than hiding it will do the trick.

I admit though, I'm surprised that disabling the timer didn't work.
