Open and Write Two (or more) Files Simultaneously

[oholloway]

I have two macros that use the following method to open and write files:

    outF = freefile
    open Reports_Dir & SUBDIR & OFILE for output as #outF
    print #outF, HEADER
    print #outF, chr(34) & _
       header1 & c & header2 & c & chr(34)
    close outF

They both write to different files and reference two different sessions.I want them both to run at the same time but when I start one and then try to run the other the first macro stops,fails with the error:"Bad file name or number.Line 212.Stopping macro playback."I have tried to make sure that the file number it is addressing is different by manually setting outF to a static number,even writing a routine to randomly pick a number between 1 and 99 and assigning it to outF to make sure they are not addressing the same file but it keeps erroring at the line 212 which is the "print #outF, HEADER" line.

I forgot to mention that each macro,runs fine on its own.It is only when I try to run them both at the same time that I run into problems.I don't understand if they reference two different files,two sessions,each explicitly named,why can't they both write to their respective files.Programs do it all the time,why not Attachmate macros?
