Crystal Reports .NET 2003

[mikem1260]

I'm trying to link an Access query to a Crystal Report, via a VS 2003 project, but some of the fields from the query it won't recognize. They just don't show up when you export the report to Word. Moreover, if I try to create a formula using these fields, I get a "Field Name not Known" error - even though in design mode you can see the field in the field list, and can browse the data.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Can't you just double click the field to place it?

Perhaps this has the same limitation as CR 8.5 in that fields containing more than 254 charaters can'r be used in formulas, although if they are selected they should display.

Anyway, test that theory based on the field types and size.

That's the sort of thing you should post, btw. When having problems with a data field, knowing it's type is logically a factor.

The field type is number, standard format, anywhere from a fraction to hundreds of thousands.
