How to print mulitple pages of one report

[XxMeRcUrYxX]

Hi All

I need some advice on how to print multiple copies of one report(page numbered also)each time I push print. (I am currently using Great Plains eEnterprise and using Forms Printer to call the Crystal report.) I need 5 copies of the same report to print so to hand out to different departments.
eg. agency copy, customer copy, file copy etc...
I figure if I could get the report to print 5 times with page numbers, then I would be albe to create a small formula to print the different copies
similar code:
if pagenumber like '1' then
file copy
if pagenumber like '2' then
customer copy

I hope I'm making sense.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

From the menu: File/Printer Setup - click on Properties button; on Page Setup tab, set CopyCount to the number of copies you want. This value is saved when you save the report.

I think Page Number will reset for each copy, though. Maybe you can create a "CopyCount" formula that will hold a value between copies - I have never tried that.

The way you would do this is to copy the Report/form and insert it as a subreport (5 times) and then hard code the 'Customer Copy', 'Office Copy' on each one of the specific forms. The Link would be the Document number (ie: PO #, or Invoice #)

I hope this helps

Thanks disaacson...but I've only been familiar with Crystal for about a month now. I hope you don't think these are stupid question but ...where do you insert the 5 subreports? Report Header Details or footers?
I've tested inserting the subreports 2 times in different detail section but once I print, the report will ask for parameter values for the second subreport. What am i doing wrong? (This is driving me up the wall!)

Thanks for all the help.
