Dear all,<br />

I have create a parameter field in string data type under field object. I know that the maximum string length of the string data field is 255 characters. However, I would like to pass a string from the vb program to the data field with more than 255 characters and display on the crystal report. How can I do it?<br />
<br />
Many Thanks

Field Object String Length

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
