need help on simple thread (simple I hope!)

Hello, i have a form with a text box on it. When the user does something on
the form, the data in this text box is passed to a function and the function
returns a dataset.

function foo (byval input as string) as dataset
...
end function
The dataset can be large so I want the UI to remaine responsive. I think
i've seen people say you have to do marshalling or somethign because you
have to pass data back? the dataset I mean. the dataset is not going to be
used to update the form's visual appearance , like i mean to populate a list
box.

can someone show me the code to do this?

thank you very much.

You only have to wory about that if you're going to be updateing the
form or it's controls from the other thread. If you're not then you're
home free :)
