Ok I am using a language called FAB Forms Automation Basic, it is close to VB but it uses other junk also check formdocs.com.

Now here is my problem I know what to do in VB I think but I tried it and it didnt work here goes

Look below here is a current print script I have.
.PrintOut ([PageRange], [Copies], [Collate], [BlankPages], [PrintWhatForm], [RecordRange], [Printer], [PrintToFileName])
here is what I am using of it which works fine.
thisform.PrintOut (1,2)
Problem is I have a field called Offcnt that hold a value, lets say it is the value of 4 and I want tht vlue to equalthe number of copies.
so I really want it to look like this
thisform.PrintOut (1,4)
but I know that it is not that easy
so I try to call the value but am getting errors.

here is how it says to call the value
.Value ([Cell])

but everytime I try and use offcnt instead of cell it tells me its wrong.

the only thing that works is to do this

thisform.PrintOut (1,thisfield.value)
but the problem with that is I dont want thisfield since it is a button and doesnt hold a value I want the value of offcnt?

I tried this and got an error
thisform.PrintOut (1,offcnt.value)
saying offcnt is not an object?

Can someone please help me,

Thanks,
Matt
