    Delay the workbook?

    I have a splash screen which opens with the opening of my work book. After 5 seconds it then unloads. Is it possible for the workbook to be delayed for 5 secodns when opened so that the splash screen opens on its own and once it unloads then the workbook appears? I have included my splash screen and workbook below.

    I was Hoping that all sheets including sheet 1 would also not appear until the splashscreen had finished. When adding to your code to make the visibility of "Sheet2" = false it was flagged up with a problem so i guess it can not be done this way. Thank you for the help though.

    Nice work martindwilson!

    The way I have done it, is a little different, as demonstrated in the attached sample Workbook.
