Answer 1

Richard is right on how to open page 2 but I think he missed part of the question, or else I'm misunderstanding it.

You want a picture to actually BE the progress bar? As in you can't see any of the picture but as it progresses you want to see more and more of it?

If that's what you want, make 2 picture boxes, one with your picture and the other with just the background color of the page outside the picture box.

Lay the color box over the picture box..Bring to Front. Then as your process progresses, gradually reduce the width of the color box revealing the picture beneath it.

For example when your process is 10 % complete take colorBox.width * .9 ..... maybe put it in a loop.

hope that's what you wanted

Answer 2

In whatever procedure changes the progress bar value, put the following:

If Progressbar.Value=100 then form2.show
