Autovue OLE 19.3.4 How to ensure PRINT commands execute in order with other commands

 We have an old complex vb6 application that automates a standalone copy of autovue 19.3.4 using OLE to print a large number of files with different print settings.  Basically it works like this.

Autovue.execute  "FILE OPEN path"

Autovue.execute "Various print settings"

Autovue.execute "PRINT"

Autovue.execute "CHILD CLOSE"

Autovue.execute "FILE OPEN path2"

Autovue.execute "Various other print settings"

etc...

The problem is that sometimes the print commands seem to lag behind the other commands.  Meaning the next file opens and begins changing print settings before the previous file printed.  This causes the print settings to be incorrect.  Executing "PAUSE" commands does not seem to help.
