Hi,

I have an idea, but this is untested.

private nPrintOrder && Important to be private, so all bellow programs will see 
nPrintOrder=0
it. If it's in form, you can make it to be a form property instead
replace PrintOrder with UpdatePrintOrider() for ...

function UpdatePrintOrder
nPrintOrder=m.nPrintOrder+1
return m.nPrintOrder
