Phil,
Trying to use Threads is normally a good thing. However there are times when
not using them & using a Timer may be better...
It appears that VS.NET 2005 (aka Whidbey, due out later in 2005) will have a
new BackgroundWorker class that will make working with threads for easier.
For details on the System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker class see:

For details on VS.NET 2005 see:

Hope this helps

Thanks for that Jay, your right about the compatability and I was
mistaken.
I've got this thing about it stuck in my head because I try and use
threads
for anything that might hang the UI, and hence need a DoEvents call.
I just don't trust the things. Its probably just my paranoia.
