progress bars

I dont know how to have the progress bar have it take 10 seconds in the display screen then close it and to show the other form??

you would need to use a timer.

add a timer with an interval of 1000 and add a progress bar

in the timers elapsed event, you can add 1 to the value of the progress bar until it reaches 10 (which will mean 10 seconds passed) and stop the timer and open the form you want to.
