Hi,

I have a report which I want to export to Excel. This report also includes some subreports. However, it seems that during the export, some of the fields are clipped, i.e., limited to about 255 words. How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Russ
 
Not about 255 words, exactly 255 words.

Once the export is complete you can re-open the Workbook using automation, cycle through the cells in the workbook and replace the truncated text, then save the amended workbook.

A couple of questions that might help you evaluate this approach:[ol][li]Can you create a single recordset that has all the truncated text? (may not be possible with subreports)[/li][li]Is there some type of key field in the Excel workbook that you can use to identify what record the truncated text belongs to?[/li][/ol]
