Hi Marcia,

Thanks for the tip.
I use the getprinter() approach in another part of my app, when printing a suite of documents, but I think the dialogue box for individual doc's looks better.
But to set # of copies dynamically, I use:

use myreport.frx
replace myreport.expr with "ORIENTATION=1"+chr(13)+"COPIES="+alltrim(str(ncopies))+chr(13)+"WHATEVER=0"

And scanning through the report table also allows you to set PICTURE values, and position objects around the report dynamically.
