>I'm converting an existing application and have created a form that has a label and cancel button on it. There's a method defined on the form that handles the main processing. The label is used to display progress of the update through the file by showing the current record number in the database. As the form executes the label isn't refreshing properly.... not sure what's wrong.

Don,
your problem is not with the refresh. Refresh only updates the data in data bound objects. After each time you update the label run the form Draw method. This updates the display of the form.

Thisform.Draw()
