Nicholas,
Yes this started because as my code updates the labels text value, it
doesn't appear to go up on the form. Meaning it goes from default of Zero,
to the end number in what appears to be an instant. The thinking was if we
invoked a refresh after every loop we could see the number grow. If I
understand you, I can create a method on the form class itself, then call
that method from my other class.

Yogi_Bear_79,
So if I understand correctly, you want to invoke a refresh from
outside of the class that is hosting the control. In this case, you would have to
expose either the control itself, and call Refresh on that, or create a
method that will call Refresh on the control for you.

MainForm.labeRestrictedSites is inaccessible due to it's protection
level
Which I think I understand. That's why I have a public string to access
the
text of this label. But I don't know/understand how to access the
refresh feature now

Can you show the call to refresh? It's not in the sample code that
you posted. Also, what is the error that you are getting? It sounds like
a compile time error, but without seeing the code or the error, it's hard
to
provide any insight.
