It could be VBS or even HTA actually but i need the splash screen to show, the excel to load, and the userform in the excel to show up, and then the splash screen to end.

Iv found examples in HTA, but they all load the splash, then just wait until that code ends before executing the excel workbook to open.

Or the splash wont go away at its own accord.

I could share with you what i have found so far if that is at all helpful.

I opwn the excel workbook with a VBS so that you never see excel, just the userforms iv created in VBA.

I know its not exactly the right forum but im guessing as the language is similar someone might have experiance in this.

Cheers

Andrew.

i thought i found a easy soloution to this, create a VBS that runs the HTA with the splash screen and then also runs another VBS that launches Excel. execpt i cant get it to move onto the second item to run it only ever runs the first thing.
