C R XI - can't print special field "Record Selection Formula"

[dorkdork]

Hello --

When I print a report containing the special field
"Record Selection Formula"
I get the error message
---------------------------
Crystal Reports
---------------------------
The page size was not large enough to format the contents of an object in the report.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I have a complex set of filters resulting from Parameter Fields and would prefer not to have to create a variable representing the filter from the prompts if same is available in "Record Selection Formula".

Can anyone tell me what might be causing the error? is this special field one that does not work?

Thanks,

LM

Sounds like you might have been placing it in a page header section. See what happens if you put it in a report header section.

This field, at least in earlier versions, used to be truncated after so many characters. Not sure if this is still the case, but this would limit its usefulness for your purpose if it is still true.

Thanks. Not being in RH was the problem.
It simply echoes the contents of the formula editor, so I won't be using it.

I need something more English-like ...
"CaseID = 'value selected by user'"
AND
"DateEntered = 'value entered by user'"
