I have a splash screen that is opened in the App.Open event, and then  
is closed at the end of all the initialization methods which are  
called from a default window Open event to modules, associated  
classes, and the like. No timers or threads, and I have yet to run  
into a problem. YMMV. My splash screen is also my About screen to save  
time and code.
There's absoultely nothing wrong with a splash screen, but it's really  
only useful if your app takes more than a few seconds to load, and in  
that case should offer the user some feedback as to what is happening.
