Crystal 10 AD Bug in CSV Export--Subreports do not work

We're using crystal 10AD (But have also tried on 8.5 with the same results). We have a report with two sub-reports which we want to export as .csv. Exporting to text seems to work fine, but when we export to CSV the contents of the sub-report do not get exported--any idea why this is happening and how we can prevent it?

This seems to be related (at least for the CR8.5)

I've looked at these and don't think they are relevant to our situation--which is that the subreport won't export (we have not saved the data with the subreport).

I didn't think they would but it was all I could find that was remotely close.

Gary, I had another question: is it possible to make field lengths dynamic in crystal 10--so that you can set an address field to be as big as it needs to be? We're having trouble with addresses truncating...

GJParker

Unfortunately no it's not possible, crystal uses fixed field lengths.

The way round is to set the field property to Can Grow but this grows the field height and displays the data on multiple lines.
