I looked at the above but I'm still not sure where to use or place copies in my code in order to get it to print multiple copies.

I created a PrintDocument withevents called pdoc. I wrote some code for the PrintPage event, some e.graphics to have something to print. I then called the print method of the pdoc object like this....

pdoc.PrinterSettings.Copies = CType(TextBox1.Text, Short)
pdoc.Print()

... and that generated the amount of copies written in TextBox1.

what is the textbox1.text refering to? (The Printdialog number of copies textbox?)

It was just a textbox where to write the number of copies, but if you mean to use the built in box on the print dialog, you don't have to do anything, do you?

[Athley]

Private Sub btnPrintDialog_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrintDialog.Click

    Dim dialog As New PrintDialog()
    dialog.Document = pdoc

    If dialog.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
        pdoc.PrinterSettings.Copies = dialog.PrinterSettings.Copies
        pdoc.Print()
    End If
End Sub

Sorry, but I probably missunderstodd you....
