Anybody know why this is happening?
My crystal report vs 8, accesses data from a recordset produced by a stored procedure in SQLServer 7. A field in the recordset is a text field which can hold 2500 characters.

The crystal report processes the data but can't display it, and returns a 'Not Supported' message. If I remove the field and insert a subreport that returns the field directly from the table in the DB it's ok.

Thanks in advance

This is a long shot but, under the formating options for the field that you are trying to display the information. There is an option that you can set called "Can Grow" I think if you select this option and set the value to "0", it will resolve your problem
 
thanks but that didn't work. :-(

Is the value '0' for Maximum number of lines? That was set by default for no limit.
