  - put a memo object with [CopyName#] text inside. It will show a copy name;
  
  - go "Code" tab and write a simple script that will give names to each copy. You can also do this in Delphi code;

  begin
    frxGlobalVariables['CopyName0'] := '';             // copy viewed in the preview
    frxGlobalVariables['CopyName1'] := 'First copy';   // 1st printed/exported copy
    frxGlobalVariables['CopyName2'] := 'Second copy';  // 2nd printed copy
    frxGlobalVariables['CopyName3'] := 'Third copy';   // 3rd printed copy
  end.
  

  
  - print a report.

  Hi gpi, thanks for your answer..
  
  Still I can't manage to work as I want.
  
  I did what you've mentioned , this is my code in the report's code page.
  

  begin
     frxGlobalVariables['CopyName1'] := '1';
     frxGlobalVariables['CopyName2'] := '2';
  end.
  

  and in my delphi code it says
  

      Rep_Ticket.PrintOptions.Copies  := 2;
      Rep_Ticket.PrepareReport();
      Rep_Ticket.Print;
  

  but still in the two copies of my report the memo with copyname# text , prints '1'.
  
  As I've mentioned before, how can I check what copy is printing , so I can disable another memo object to print in the second copy.
  
  Many thanks for you invaluable help.
  
  Regards

  Try to use TfrxReport.OnPrintPage event

  Thanks again gpi , but still cant do it right, sorry.
  
  I did as you said but still cant find out which numer of copy is printing.
  
  In the report beforeprint event I have

  if MemoCopy.Text = '1' then MemoText.visible := False;
  

  
  MemoCopy is the memo object with [CopyName#] text inside.
  
  What I need is that if printing the first copy then Memotext its invisible.
  
  Thanks and sorry for my inexperience.
  
  Regards

  CopyName# variable is macro variable. It available in the prepared report only, you can't to use it during preparing of report. Use TfrxReport.OnPrintPage event

  You can't.

  Look at TfrxReport.OnPrintPage header
  procedure TForm1.frxReport1PrintPage(Page: TfrxReportPage; CopyNo: Integer);
  begin
  
  end;

  Thanks gpi for you help but still cant manage to do it.
  
  this is my code when printing

  Rep_Ticket.PrintOptions.Copies  := 2;
  Rep_Ticket.PrintOptions.Collate := True;
  Rep_Ticket.PrepareReport();
  Rep_Ticket.Print;
  

  and on the Report.OnPrintPage event I have

  Rep_Ticket.Variables['CopyNumber'] := IntToStr(CopyNo)
  

  and then on the report I have a memo object that contains the same variable 'CopyNumber' but when printing , in both pages it prints "2", it seems that always prints the second copy.
  
  I cant make the report prints 1 on the first copy and 2 in the second... " border="0" alt="mad.gif" />" alt=">" />[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Can you tell me please what I'm doing wrong ?? Many thanks..[/img]

  Thanks gpi for the code.
  
  I've done earlier what you've mentioned in the code and the memo with the variable global prints perfect.
  
  My problem is how can I check the content of that global variable because I need to print ONLY some objects in the first copy but not in the second one.
  
  Just need that.
  
  Best regards

  Check CopyNo Delphi variable in the TfrxReport.OnPrintPage event, pass through all Page's (prepared page) objects and change visibility for these objects

  Thanks so much gpi.
  
  I've did this way and works perfect. I put my solution here for any person who may need it.
  

  procedure Rep_TicketPrintPage(Page: TfrxReportPage; CopyNo: Integer);
  var
    Memo : TfrxMemoView;
    RichView : TfrxRichView;
    nPage : TfrxPageFooter;
  begin
      inherited;
      Memo := TfrxMemoView( Page.FindObject('Memo24') );
      if Memo <> nil then
      begin
          if CopyNo = 1 then
              Memo.Printable := False
          else
              Memo.Printable := True;
      end;
      RichView := TfrxRichView( Page.FindObject('Rich1') );
      nPage    := TfrxPageFooter( Page.FindObject('PageFooter') );
      if ( RichView <> nil ) and ( lImprimePie ) then
      begin
          if CopyNo = 1 then
          begin
              RichView.Printable := True;
              nPage.Height       := 4.07;
          end
          else
          begin
              RichView.Printable := False;
              nPage.Height       := 1.00;
          end;
      end;
  end;
  

  Best regards
