Splash Screen

Hello,
I use a splash screen when a macro opens. Never had a problem with it. Now
a user with Excel 2000 had an error after enabling macros: Microsoft Excel
400 error which has to with showing a form. It was the splash screen. When
I bypassed showing the form, it worked for that user. It works fine showing
the splash screen with my Excel 2000.

Code:

In this workbook:


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SplashSSS.Show
End Sub

In form:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:03"), "KilltheForm"
End Sub

In a module:

Public Sub KilltheForm()
Unload SplashSSS
End Sub

Any idea why this would generate an error?

Thanks.

Bill

I have Excel 2000 on this laptop, and your code worked fine here. Where does
the error occur?

The error occurs immediately after he selects Enable Macros. He gets a
message saying file not found, then hits help and get the 400 error message.
Very strange since it works on lots of Excel 2000 versions just fine.
