Salut Rolf,
for me, the way was the other way around. Printing works (with gambas),
and I wanted to store automatic one copy as PDF in an archive.
And had discovered the error in the Printer.Setup.

The vertical size was chosen to be 1 inch. It is unclear why the 8-character horizontal size was chosen, as 5 characters, half inch in a typical printer at that time, was much more popular at that time as a paragraph indentation. the 5 characters has to do with the 10 characters/inch teletype character set in the matrix impact printers at that time (around 1982) (i.e. Epson mx80/fx80/fx100 use it) > > I have 824,000+ more references to fall back on, but I'm sure you'll get the > idea. > > > -- > The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation > Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business > Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts > Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com > ___ > Gambas-user mailing list > Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user > Just possible info.

The request is only in the second argument of Find() (see documentation). The
other arguments are substituted inside the request, a bit like the Subst()
function.
You must put your "ORDER BY" inside the second argument.
But as Find() internally adds "WHERE" to the query beginning by default, you
must write it like that:
hResult = $hConn.Find("addresses", "WHERE True ORDER BY lastname")
Maybe Find() should be more clever, and detect ORDER BY too. I will implement
that for Gambas 3.

Re: [Gambas-user] Setting default values on a listbox
Hi, I agree, if I had a set of Listboxes, where each stores one option, the options wan't be changeable, and all you have to do is to store the index of each listbox. Where to store - what one likes, settings are surely ok. regards Dag Am Montag, den 08.02.2010, 00:44 -0800 schrieb charlesg: > Hi > > I read the question differently from Werner (probably incorrectly!) > > I think you want: > > PUBLIC SUB Form_Open() > DIM j AS Integer > > FOR j = 40 TO 50 > ListBox1.Add(Str(j) & " " & Chr(j), j) > NEXT > ListBox1[5].selected = TRUE > > END -- The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com ___ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user

Just a few word to tell that the printer support has been redesigned in
Gambas 3, this is why I didn't touch the Gambas 2 one anymore.
Now in Gambas 3, it should work as it should have worked since the
beginning, with both Qt and GTK+.

Oh, that's nice! Never saw this, never knew :-) Tanks for the tipp!
But in my specific case, it is easier to have my student database
program store the documents as per students' names. Easier to retrieve,
I mean.
But where is this Printer Setup thing you use, is it a CUPS frontend? I
know CUPS only from its localhost website frontend. (General setup is
done via the Suse-wide Yast tool.)

It's "system-config-printer", made by RedHat. It is installed by default on
Mandriva as soon as you install a printer.
