I have just recently developed a database which basically keeps a list
of all of our archived software. It runs perfectly except for one flaw.
I developed a print button that basically does a doMenu to Print Report.
Is there any way to save the formats you define in the
"Print Report..." setup so that every time you reboot, you
do not have to re-configure them. I am sort of looking for some
type of internal variables that will allow me to define
(within the program) how long I want each column and which
fields I want included.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Hello,
At the Spring Developers Conference in San Jose, I asked some
of the HyperCard gurus (David Leffler in particular if I remember
correctly) about the printing problems. He said the real problem
was in the Macintosh, not HyperCard. He said they weren't really
sure what the problem was, and were open to any suggestions from
developers. There is also a limitation to printing. I think HC
can only print 128 pages maximum.
I would like to mention that one of the greatest (I think)
things about this new 1.2. series release is that EVERYTHING
is returned in the result. No more error codes popping up on
the screen to the user. This is especially handy for
debugging external commands and functions. You will just get an error
returned, instead of the big la bamba.
