I'm currently using Word automation to print barcoded document. When trying to print the subsequent copies, Word gets visible.

I think I narrowed it down to the Document.Open() but I don't see why Word become visible after the second loop.

In this example I reopen the same document many time, I have also tried re-using one instance of the document and got the same result.

Any idea or workaround are welcome.

Sample code to reproduce :

lcDocument = GETFILE()

loWord	= CREATEOBJECT([Word.Application])

FOR lni=1 TO 3
 loWord.Documents.Open(lcDocument,,1)
 loWord.Printout(0)
ENDFOR

loWord.Quit(0)
