How do I use the Timer Function to unload a form after 3 seconds of starting and reload other form after the first one closes?

Thanks for your time :)

I'd write one timer event, on a timer set with interval = 3000 (3 seconds)

sub timer_timer()
Unload Me
' Unload does not terminate the current thread, but closes at end sub
dim NuForm as new form3
NuForm.Show
end sub

I was using this in the main form load

Dim Splash As New Splash
Splash.ShowDialog()
dbname.Clear()
OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(dbname)

and then in the form you want to close in 3 seconds, use the timer like this

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Me.Close()
End Sub
