Print multiple copies of same report

[MitchCumstein]

I there a way to get a report to print two or more times automatically? For example, when a user presses the print icon 3 copies of the report are sent to the default printer

Are you viewing the report from the designer, or from some interface(VB, ASP...)? If it's from the designer, you have the option of selecting the number of copies. Or maybe I don't understand your issue..?

We are printing out of the interface from an ERP (Fourth Shift) program. I assume it is VB, but I do not have access to the code. When the user presses the print button, the ERP program temporarily populates a separate database and prints from a crystal template (.rpt file.)

I own Crystal Reports 8.0 developer and have access to the templates. I was wondering if I could put something in the template that would make it print twice, instead of the normal one time, whenever it is printed. Same result as if the user chose File -> Print -> Number of Copies = 2

I have had the same needs, and I solved it this way:

Under File/Printer Setup/ you klick on properties.

There you will be able to say how many copies you want.
After that just save your report.
