Hi,
I have a query that takes over a minute to execute so I want to put a timer
on the form while its running. Both procedures work individually, but when I
try to create a thread i get this error:

* Additional information: Controls created on one thread cannot be parented
to a control on a different thread.

Which should be the main thread and which should run in the background?
Right now the query is attempting to run in the background but as soon as I
set the table styles for the datagrid;
       dgDisplay.TableStyles.Add(dgts)

i receive the error (*). Any suggestions?
Thanks
