Visible generating docs vs hided doc generating

[O.B.1.]

Hi all,

I'm running VB6 with Office XP;
This seems very strange to me:
i've created a VB6-DLL (SP5 installed) that generates
word documents, with contents from a database;
I let the wordapplication start, with visible = true.
then for the documents, I set visible also to true;
the DLL succesfully generates 4 documents for me.
However, when I change visible to false for the documents,
I get only 1 document to be generated.
How can this happen ? the database content did not
change, the templates don't change etc.. I only change
the value for the "visible" property. Thanks for your
help!
regards, O.B.1.

Some Word commands fail if Word itself is not visible (eg functions relating
to views and panes, and some selection activities).
