LIST PRINT,1 for a list 1 was working just fine for me on a Win 98 computer. But, it decided to die the other day and I replaced it with an XP Home Edition machine. I'm running the last version of VDS 4.50. The List Print thing is not working anymore. Thoughts anyone? 8O

I can't imagine why it wouldn't work... Does the list contain data?
do a info @count(1) items in list
right before printing to make sure.
or try...

Were you using VDS4.5 on your Win98 box? Have you eliminated your XP settings as possible causes of your problem?

Hi Mark,
I'm using 3.51 and list print appears to work fine on XP. I don't think the command has changed in 4.5. The problem must be elsewhere. You might want to make sure you've defined a default printer and/or double check permissions.

Good Luck!

Replies! Thanks!

1) OK, Que, ya it has data -- it is a small text file that get loaded.
2) VDSuser, ya, same version of VDS was on the Win98 box. I am not sure by what you mean eliminate my XP settings, for instance, which setting(s)?
3) Moke, ya, I have a default printer set. Which permissions should I check / how?

Thanks gang! I'm not new to this -- I have written hundreds of VDS programs since VDS 2, so that is why i am perplexed Embarassed

I'm using Windows XP Home and VDS 4.5, and LIST PRINT works fine for me. I did have some trouble a while ago when I had Windows 98, but the trouble was not the Operating System...I had LIST PRINT in the wrong format. Make sure the parameters, if you are using any, are in the format exactly as shown below. My problem was using the parameters. Make sure you have no spaces after or around the list number. If you are still getting the error, try using it without any parameters, like LIST PRINT,<<YOUR LIST #>>

I'll try it on Monday at work -- the error was not popping up as an error (which I would expect since there was no error trap), but rather nothing happened -- ie it just did not print and the program finishes running.
