I have a table which contain a person's full name. When I run a report to display all the names, those names which have an alias sign(@) in their names automatically changes to an email link. Is there a way to stop this from happening? I've trid unchecking the Read As HTML checkbox in Format Objects in both Designer and BusinessObjects5.0 but both don't seem to work.
 
I have no direct solution in the sense of the proper setting , but the following does the trick like a workaround:
Replace(<variable>,&quot;@&quot;,&quot; @&quot;), which of course introduces a space in the string, but does remove the link appearance... T. Blom
