Printer.CurrentX being reset to 0 <RESOLVED>

Can anyone tell me a reason why Printer.CurrentX is being reset during this loop?

VB Code:

Printer.CurrentX = 1000
Printer.CurrentY = 10800
For i = 13 To 19
    Printer.Print Label8(i).Caption
    Printer.CurrentX = Printer.CurrentX + 900
    Printer.CurrentY = 10800
Next

If I put a stop up on the first line of the loop (Printer.Print Label8(i).Caption) and query the machine for the value of Printer.CurrentX it returns 1000, like it should. However when I step to the next line (Printer.CurrentX = Printer.CurrentX + 900)and query again, the value has been reset to 0. Anyone know why? It's quite annoying because everything seems correct in my code. Thanks

You must add a semicolon ( ; ) to the end of the Print statement for it to stay on the same line. You will also need to add a space character or 2 after the print or every caption will be butted up to each other.

VB Code:

Printer.CurrentX = 1000
Printer.CurrentY = 10800
For i = 13 To 19
    Printer.Print Label8(i).Caption & "   ";
    Printer.CurrentX = Printer.CurrentX + 900
    Printer.CurrentY = 10800
Next

When you want to print something else after the loop finishes you must do a straight Printer.Print (which is like a carriage return) or that too will be on the same line as the stuff printed in the loop

Why is it that this bit of code, which appears right before it, works fine.

VB Code:

Printer.CurrentX = 750
Printer.CurrentY = 3400
For i = 0 To 6
    Printer.Print Label8(i).Caption
    Printer.CurrentX = 700
    Printer.CurrentY = Printer.CurrentY + 985
Next

Can you not just adjust the CurrentX value to determine where the caption is printed?

Because the code that works fine is using CurrentY and NOT Current X.

Ok...right. But what's the difference? Are you saying you can't adjust the value of CurrentX in a loop like you can with CurrentY? That seems silly.

Everytime you do a Print, Vb treats it like a carriage ruturn so sets currentX back to the start of the line (0) unless you add a semicolon to the end of the print line, then it DOESNT reset.
Only other way would be to save CurrentX in a variable before the print then set CurrentX=savevariable after but you would also have to add the textwidth of the printed text to keep up with the current print position

Outstanding. I didn't realize that it treated it as a carriage return. I just assumed both would work the same way. Thanks for your patience.

No probs m8....thats what this forum is for. :)
