[AccessD] Repaint stops after relinking

I've seen Access XP and 97 both hang on a WinXP box when you switched to
another application in the middle of a process.  Outlook seems to be
especially bad for interrupting things.  I've found that the UI is
locked completely, and even though I can get to the VBE I can't release
the user interface to function normally again without quiting the
database.

Subject: [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?
