To work around this behavior, in the Crystal Reports Designer, either apply the suggested formatting options to the field or replace the field with a formula.

Formatting Options

To view all the data in the field, complete these steps:

1. Right-click the field.
2. Click 'Format Text'.
3. Select the 'Can Grow' check box.

To view only the first line of data, complete these steps:

1. Right-click the field.
2. Click 'Format Text'.
3. Select the 'Can Grow' check box.
4. Type "1" in the 'Maximum number of lines' box.

Replace a Field with a Formula

To view a specific number of characters in the field, complete these steps:

1. Insert the database field into a formula using the 'Left' function.
2. Specify the number of characters as a parameter of the function.
3. Place the formula on the report.
4. For example, the following formula field displays the first twelve characters of the Address1 field from the Customer table:

@Address

Left({Customer.Address1}, 12)
