I am using CR 8.5. Does anyone know how I can change my report layout to allow me to add fields past 132 characters.
 
132 is not a limitation, 254 is for formulas.

Crystal will output more than 254 character table fields, but they cannot be used in a formula, nor can you create a formula which returns more than 254.

You can drop multiple formulas into a text box and use that as a container to give the illusion of a field > 254.

Hope this helped.
