You mean something like:
dim w as object
set w=createobject("word.basic")
w.fileopen "c:\mypath\myfile.prn"
w.fileopen "c:\mypath\myotherfile.prn"
w.fileopen "c:\mypath\athirdfile.prn"
And so forth?
w.DoDomeOtherWordbasicCode
set w=nothing

I can't see how else you'd be doing it, since any other way wouldn't make
sense.

And since I am assuming you're doing the aforementioned code, then this
can't possibly be happening.  Try it and see how it works.
