Subject: Listbox bug

Be careful retrieving a row of data from a listbox using listbox.cell
(n,-1). I found out the hard way that the string returned is not
necessarily in the order of the columns, but in the order in which
the data in the columns was entered.
I filed a bug report: mqjytfku.
Hi,
Thanks for the information Michael.
The big miss here is that the documentation does not talks about that;
the second miss is what you said.
Be aware (correct me if I am now wrong/the things have changed) that if
you use a DataBase, asking data using the '*' character (works the same
as -1) does not return too the data in the order you will think of; use
a specific order call (name all fields in the order you want) to get the
data in the order you desire.
Cheers,
Emile
