Journal hook - app. not fetting focus

Hi gurus,

I set a journal record hook to implement somesort of macro recorder. After recording the key strokes and mouse moves I play back with a journal playback hook.

My problem is when the "play back" hook plays back a mouse click to reactive an app., say notepad, by clicking on the task bar, notepad will only gains focus AFTER the hook finishes replaying - I of course loss all the key input. Any idea or help is greatly appreciated.

I've Win2K SP4 and IE6 SP1.
