Text field is growing from Crystal Viewer

[crystaldev1]

Hello, I'm using CR 11 and Sql Server 2008. I have a text field that is not set to grow. But when the report is generated from Crystal Viewer, it seems to overlook that option and extends beyond other columns. Is there a workaround for this cosmetic issue? Thanks.

I ran into this issue a while back, opened a support case on it and they told me to add the following registry key, which resolved it,

Log in to the server as the user ID under which the reports run. In RegEdit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Crystal Reports\Saved Data. Add the following key:

TruncateClippedFieldStrings = Yes

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.
