Request: guidance on vb nag screen

Heya mates.

Just starting out (Lena151 tutorial 30/40) and thought I would try my handy work at a freeware target (VB6) that had a nag screen.

Tuts 9 & 10 talk about VB, but I can't seem to extend what I've read to this situation.

The issue I am running into is that the target actually loads the About form (frmAbout) which in turn loads the main form (frmMain) after you click OK on the About form. You then are in the app and can open the About form again through the standard Help|About menu.

I want to remove the initial nag screen as a quick learning exercise and still have the App able to show the About screen through the Help|About.

I have used NuMega SmartCheck 6.2 to determine that it was actually frmAbout that loaded frmMain after OK was clicked. I have used VB Decompiler to see the VA's of the Forms, and was hoping it would be as easy as pushing the address of frmMain rather than frmAbout early in the code (not concerning myself yet with any initialization/etc that frmAbout would have done that I would be skipping and was gonna worry about that later lol).

Truthfully I am a little lost in all the VB crap and was wondering if there were any good tutorials (Lena's are great thus far but I'm looking for something more in depth with VB just to beat this app) or if my approach is just plain wrong.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
ws
