Background threads cannot access controls directly. They have to use delegates. They are not that complicated and you can see an example of how to do that here

thanks Jim I appreciated your quick response. I'll update this thread for future reference. Thanks again.

Hi jim, thanks for your advice. I am able now to run my program with no errors. I forgot also to include workreportsprogress = true.

here is the piece of my code in case someone might need this.

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        m_bg.WorkerReportsProgress = True
        m_bg.WorkerSupportsCancellation = True

    End Sub

  Private Sub m_bg_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles m_bg.DoWork

        Dim SQL As String = e.Argument


        OpenSqlConnection()


        Dim dt As New DataTable

        If cn.State = ConnectionState.Closed Then cn.Open()

        Using da As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(SQL, GetConnectionString)

            Dim count As Integer = da.Fill(dt)


            For i As Integer = 1 To count

                If Me.m_bg.CancellationPending Then
                    e.Cancel = True
                    Exit For
                End If

                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(200)

                m_bg.ReportProgress(CInt((i / count) * 100))
                textcode(FormatPercent(i / count, 2))

            Next i

        End Using

        If e.Cancelled Then
            Me.Label2.Text = "Cancelled"
        Else
            Dim dt As DataTable = e.Result

            dgv1.DataSource = dt

                Label4.Visible = False
                txtcode.Focus()
                Exit Sub
            End If
            dgv1.Columns("check").ReadOnly = False
            dgv1.Columns("upc").ReadOnly = True

            Dim IntI As Integer

            For IntI = 1 To dgv1.Rows.Count
                Label3.Text = (" " & IntI & " rows")

            Next IntI

            Label2.Text = "Query Completed"

         Private Delegate Sub dlgtextcode(ByVal text As String)

    Private Sub textcode(ByVal text As String)

        If Label4.InvokeRequired Then
            Dim dlg As New dlgtextcode(AddressOf textcode)
            Me.Invoke(dlg, text)
        Else
            Label4.Text = text
        End If

    End Sub

Ohh btw, i got exception saying time out. when im using this sql string "Select vp.upc from vendor_products vp join vendor_profile v on vp.vendor_id = v.id where vp.id not in (Select id from [192.168.1.104].Store.dbo.Vendor_products) and v.code = '" & txtcode.Text & "'order by vp.upc " checking between two servers.

Problem solved. :-)
