[AccessD] Repaint stops after relinking

I have a routine that relinks several back end databases on a network to a
front end.  This process can take a minute or so.  If you go to another
application and come back when the relinking is done, Access can no longer
properly redraw the images on the screen. I am using Access XP on Windows
XP. Access97 does not appear to have this problem.

How can this be fixed?
