A brief explanation please[Resolved]

I am wondering if some might be able to give me a brief explanation of what these Threading methods are used for.

I know what Start Does....so i am leaving that one out..lol

Join
Suspend
Abort


So say for example I had a Program some what like this. The reason for this is because I have form that does some database access and I want it to operate faster I was thinking putting it in a different thread might relieve it from the processes of the main app.

<vbcode>
Module Search
Public SearchThread as new System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf OpenSearchWindow)
Private Sub OpenSearchWindow
Dim frmSearch as new SearchWindow ' Name of a form in app
frmSearchWindow.ShowDialog()

End Module
</vbcode>
