Topic: Dynamically set number of copies to print Posted: 19 Feb 2012 at 8:40pm
Is there a way within Crystal Reports to alter printer settings to change the number of copies to print at run time? I want to user a parameter to prompt the user for a number, then use a formula in the report to use this number to update the number of copies to be printed.
Looking through google for an answer I get the impression that I should be doing this with VB Code, but switching to VB Syntax in the Crystal Report Editor (v10) I don't seem to have the libraries for these available.

hmmm....
I would have thought that you would do this in an application that calls the report. It should be able to interface to the printer section and update the number of copies.
If you are just doing this from CR, I don't know if it's possible...probably not if you didn't see anything (I haven't ever tried to affect the printer set up from CR).

Yeah it's a 3rd party software that I'm working with so I'm a bit limited in what I can do. I can't see how it would be possible straight from Crystal, but I had someone that used to work with this tell me that they thought it was.
