Hi Bob,

Some [printers, notably dot matrix and inkjets are not capable of printing more than 1 copy as the printers have no smarts built in (unlike laser printers), so the copies field is greyed.

What I have done in the form I present to users for date selection etc, I ask the user how many pages (default is 1) they want to print.

lnCopies = 1 && number of copies to print

lnCount = 1
FOR lnCount = 1 TO lnCopies
REPORT FORM rptName TO PRINT PROMPT
ENDFOR

I have also set up the default number of copies in a system .dbf so it can be set by the user.

Regards
Doug Johnston
