procedure TForm4.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Label21: Tlabel;
Button1: Boolean;
ProgressBar1 : TProgressBar;
begin
//
ProgressBar1.Visible := True; //Component is in Unit1 (Bolt)
end;

Nothing shown references a component in another unit. I only see a local ProgressBar1 defined in the Var section of your procedure that isn't created / initialized so will throw access violations when an attempt it made to reference/access it. 

 

Usually you would put the other form unit in the Uses clause of the implementation section of the form you want to reference it from. Then use the form variable to access it like Form1.ProgressBar1.Visible := true;.

 

implementation


{$R *.dfm}

uses Unit1;
