Export to Text-Inconsistent Field Size

[fsub]

I am exporting a report to text in Crystal 8.5. How can I control the field size? The resulting text differs from preview, i.e., a 5-digit value is written out 4-digit. How can I tell Crystal to write out a field as 5 digits in the output text file?

Thanks...

You'll need to pad the output.

Here's a method:

{table.field} & replicatestring(" ", 5-len({table.field}))

Of course this means that you need to convert all data types to strings as well.
