Embedded field problem

[ian007]

In TextObject of my report i embade FormulaField.
TextObject can grow, and aligment of TextObject is set to justified.
On developer machine evrything works fine, but on client side words in TextField are split,looking like this:
"some text.............................my prob
lem"
FormulaField code look like this:
"some text.................."& {Command.SomeField} &""
Im using CR10 and VB 6.0, and data from DB2 true ODBC.
Maybe i miss some DLL on Client side, or is there a way.....?

You need to check if {Command.SomeField} will fit. Use Length({Command.SomeField}) and when it would break onto a second line, do you own line-break. E.g.

If Length({Command.SomeField}) < 15
then 
"some text.................." & {Command.SomeField} & "" 
else
"some text.................." & CHR(13)
& {Command.SomeField} &""

Note that CHR(13) will always force a line-break.

This is a wild guess and I might be off-base here, but I wonder if this is a font issue, with different printers being used and therefore different fonts available. You might try changing the font for the formula to Courier or some non-proportional font that would be available to all machines regardless of printer.

Thank you Madawc, nice solution, if i have one or two rows,
work fine, but textfield can grow, and this field is string of 1000 characters.

Thank you Ibass for sugesstion, font is ariel (10)intresting part is diference on developer and client machine.Im missing something here but i dont what.

Im even try to change system fonts from small to large.
Didnt work.
i read some articale, about embaded fields in CRhelp,im not sure, would solv my problem if i put on form Embeddable Crystal Report Designer Control,?
