>>>I'm getting reports from a couple of remote locations running an app on a file sharing network that when they print a report the apps spools 50 or more copies. I'm using the TO PRINTER PROMT format and they swear that the have the number of copies in the promt screen is only 1. Any ideas what could be causing this?

I would expect the PRINT PROMPT to show the correct number of copies, and the COPIES= in EXPR is consistent with what the prompt is showing. If clearing the fields doesn't work, the only other thing I can think of is to check that you're not somehow calling REPORT FORM in a loop. (But if you've got the PRINTER PROMPT on the same line as REPORT FORM, the users would be seeing the prompt each time.)
