You can design forms that you will use again and again and save them in a standard forms template collection. Actually, Microsoft has provided you with a set of standard form templates in the Template\Forms subdirectory for VB 6.

A form Template is a model form that you can customize.

The standard forms screen gives you the option of adding one of these standard screens to your application.

• Spash Screen: is an opening screen that appars when your application first begins.
• Login dialog: A dialog box that asks for the User's ID and password as a part of application security.
• Options dialog: is a tabbed blank dialog from which users can specify attributes that you set up for the application.
• About Box: is shown when users select Help, About from the application menu.
