I am attempting to perform a DDE LinkExecute in VB to a server form also
created in VB.  If the server's menu has the focus when the link execute is
performed the client hangs and I cannot reestablish the link without
restarting the client application.  I tried working around this by changing
the focus from the server menu to the client form before doing the link
execute but this does not work if the client is minimized at the time of the
link execute.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
