Hi David,
Running this kind of code in the Form_Load will cause you and your application a lot of headaches. As John recommends, put the blink code in the timer Event and let it do both jobs. You will want to set the timer to 250 (a quarter of a second.) Off the top of my head:
Dim iCounter As Integer
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.TimerInterval = 250
iCounter = 0
'more code as necessary
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
'More code as necessary
iCounter = iCounter + 1
Select Case iCounter Mod 4
Case 3
If Me.lblBlinker.Visible then Me.lblBlinker.Visible = False
Case Else
If not Me.lblBlinker.Visible then Me.lblBlinker.Visible = True
End Select
If iCounter > 8 Then
Me.TimerInterval = 0
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End If
End Sub
The reason for the “if …visible†and “if not …visible†is that otherwise the Label can end up flashing ever so slightly every quarter of a second.
You might also like to set the label font to bold/non-bold or red/black rather than setting visible/invisible.

I would also like to display a blinking label that says "Please wait while application is loading." Since I already have the On Timer event being triggered by the splashscreen, I tried to write some code to cause the label to blink. In the forms On Load event, I have the following code:
