i think there's other options but i'll give you want you ask for.

you would need to start a second message loop. so in the routine that's called when you start the new thread. do an application.run(your main form) in there. then close your startup form and the first message loop will killed.

Imports System.Threading

Public Class frmStartup

    Private Sub frmStartup_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim OldThread As Thread
        Dim NewThread As Thread

        Try
            OldThread = Thread.CurrentThread
            NewThread = New Thread(AddressOf NewThreadMethod)
            NewThread.Start()
            OldThread.Abort()
            'Me.Close()
	Catch tae as ThreadAbortException
	    'Do nothing.
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message, , "frmStartup_Load")
        End Try
    End Sub

    Private Sub NewThreadMethod()
        Try
            Application.Run(New frmAnother)
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.Message, , "NewThreadMethod")
        End Try
    End Sub

End Class

But as soon as the default/current thread is being killed the application is closing down. How can I tackle this?

PictureBox1.Controls.Add(New Form2 With {.TopLevel = False, .Visible = True, .Dock = DockStyle.Fill})

ADOXtable = New ADOX.Table
