Re: Print Results in 18 copies
We got this when we upgraded to WIN7, it was completely random but always 18 copies. What we did was to send the report to the screen then if the user prints from Crystal it comes out OK.

Re: Print Results in 18 copies
Actually, understanding this problem a bit more. 18 copies occur if the report is greater than 1 page in length for any user using the user tool. However, if the report is only one page in length, you get only one copy. But these are good suggestions, but it would appear to be related with the Remedy User Tool/Crystal interface using Windows 7 as Tommy had indicated. Any ideas for workarounds other than to back off to XP or use only the web? I cannot duplicate the problem for other versions of Windows.

Re: Print Results in 18 copies
There is no workaround other than to cancel the print job after the first copy is finished printing. The end-user that was going to be impacted the most has simply refused to upgrade from XP. If you can print to SCREEN and then print this issue does not crop up. As far as an update, BMC closed our ticket and submitted a defect to Business Objects. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Hamilton, Scott Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 3:38 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Print Results in 18 copies Nothing in the ar.ini file equals 18.
