>>>Well, it doesn't work on the Mac(stupid computer). I guess the print manager in the Mac OS is so much different that Microsoft didn't take the time to incorporate all the features available on the PC. Ah well, I just put PROMPT in the report command and let the user type in 6 for the number of copies. It prints them in one pass that way, which is quite a bit faster. Thanks for the suggestions, if I can ever get away from these silly Mac's they will come in handy.

That will simply run the report form multiple times( which I have already done ), but it requires the system to build the report and print it each time, which is very slow on the Mac. What I wanted to do was tell the Mac print manager to print 6 copies, then it just builds the report once and the printer spits out 6 copies which is MUCH faster.
