Hey,

That's cheating :)

What if the report is sent to the printer by

REPORT FORM myInvoice TO PRINTER PROMPT PREVIEW? and the user specifies the number of copies in the printer dialog?

And moreover, two invoices were printed fine, but then printer got jammed and had to be restarted?

>>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.

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.
