How to get some user-input

rbuser

Is it possible to get some userinput from a report?
Example: user has to input the number of copies to print.
The popup could be fired via a label/onprint in the header of a report.

This value is passed using calculation
"report.printersetup.copies := < value >".

Could this be done and how?

Hello,

I'm a bit unclear about what you are trying to accomplish. If a user would
like to print multiple copies of a report, they can simply define this in
the Print Dialog before they print. Defining the copy number from a
Label.OnPrint would be too late in the report generation process to have an
effect. Perhaps some more information on what exactly you would like your
application to do would help me understand and help you better.
