Need to print several copies of same report with different serial number each copy

[RptD3sign3r]

Hi, I'm creating a simple report that only reads a few tables to display the customer name, part number, sales order, etc., one per page. This report will also include a serial number, which we want CR to automatically increase when we print, say, 10 copies of the same report. Therefore, if we want to print 10 copies, we want the first copy to print i.e., 12186001, the second copy, 12186002, and so on, until copy number 10 to be 12186010. The base number "12186" is the job number, and the sequence numbers would be from 001 to 010 (in this example). I've looked on the web for a solution, but I only find the solution IF the records the report reads are multiple. I need it to be able to be driven by the number of copies we print. Please advise.

Ido,

Thank you for your reply, and please excuse my ignorance, but I'm not to knowledgable in many areas of CR. I saw your FAQ in your related question link, but I can't seem to figure out how to create that table, and also where exactly do I insert the formula? Right now I have a variable to increase, but because the report is only one page, it won't change.

Thnx - Rich
