Discovery I made yesterday, the new features in VB8 mentioned in this thread don't seem to play nicely with Windows2000. Basically, I've found that when you declare a splash screen if the splash closes before your main form starts the application will exit regardless of whether you chose exit on last form closed or on main form closed. This is a Windows 2000 only issue and seems to be related to the decleration of the event loop and what Windows 2000 considers the main form. The funny thing is that so long as the main form starts before the splash closes, then everything works.
I'm still researching this, but if anyone has any thoughts or explinations on why this might be happening I would be interested to hear them. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or could I be on the wrong trail?
