>Hi all, I need to control the amount of copies printer for an invoice, but have not figured this out. I have a normal report to print an invoice, the first time I print it It should tell its original, the second time "copy 1" the third "copy 2" etc.

>The source of the report is a SQL query that joins master and detail of the invoice, does anyone has done this before. What is the best approach. Note that I need to increment the index on the copy only if printed, this means that if I see the report in preview (screen) it should not affect that counting.
You will probably have to save the information somehow in a table. That must be part of the program that runs the report. Note that it is hard to tell if a report is interrupted (for instance, the user turns of the printer).
