Displaying TProgressBar on SplashScreen

[DGRoop]

My main form loads 3 large files into 3 different ListBoxs and so I added a splash screen to kill dead time during program startup. I've been trying to add a ProgressBar to the SplashScreen with a Max of 60(number of items each ListBox loads from file). The SplashForm has a TTimer which is enabled and a single event ( PB->StepBy(1); ) but nothing happens until after the MainForm loads the ListBoxs.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for using a TProgressBar while the MainForm loads these files?

Thanks so very much!

Thanx ... I found the answer in another post.
