Hi Charlotte,

> How can I print a report in multiple copies. I'm using the REPORT FORM... PROMPT method but the Number of copies option is disabled. How can I enable this? or better yet, How can I programmatically print in multiple copies?

This is a feature provided by the printer driver, not by VFP. If the option is disabled, there's no direct way to print several copies. Instead you have to run the REPORT command several times. Here you have to ask for the printer first, the activate it with SET PRINTER TO NAME and then just issue REPORT FORM ... TO PRINTER without prompt clause.

You can try to change the COPIES= line in the EXPR first of the first record in the FRX file, but since this is used by the printer driver I doubt that it'll work. But it's worth a try.
