VB.Net - Not Sure if Multi-threading is What I Need

Good Day Experts!

I have never used Multi-threading and have a situation in one of my applications where I am not sure if it is what I need.  It is a dashboard with several timers to perform a variety of tasks at certain times through out the day and week.  I need to have a background setup that checks my database table that contains a record for each function that is run.  

I have made that function to check the table 15mins after the individual function was run.  If there is no record of the function running, I need to alert the User.  However, I don't want to have my dashboard be held hostage and not be able to continue without the User hitting ok on the msgbox.  

Is this a situation for multi-threading? Or is there another way I can achieve my end goal?

Thanks,
