Yeah you're right Nancy :) I always use SQL as recordsource for reports, so at least for myself, side effects are less :) I haven't tested if _pcopies still work in VFP.

>>Two quick ways.
>>1) Use frx as table and set copies = 2.

use myreport.frx
>>replace expr with strtran(expr,"COPIES=1","COPIES=2")
>>use
>>report form myreport to printer noconsole
>>use myreport.frx
>>replace expr with strtran(expr,"COPIES=2","COPIES=1")
>>use

2) Run report 2 times :

report form myreport to printer noconsole nowait
>>report form myreport to printer noconsole nowait
