the page size was not large enough to format the contents

[msakowitz]

I am getting this error 'The page size was not large enough to format the contents of an obejt in the report' when running a report that returns information on a customer. I am only getting this (at present) for a report for a given customer and not for the id of anyone else. A. What causes this? Could it be a text or note overflow? Could an errant operator or character have been save in a customer record in a text field?

You could display a formula field that takes the data field and truncates it, e.g.

Left({your.field}, 255)

It helps to give your Crystal version - 8, 8.5, 9, 10, 11 or whatever. Methods sometimes change between versions, and higher versions have extra options. If you have anything below version 9, there probably is a 255-character limit.

Note also that you can use Length to find out how big a field is, and Mid to show the rest of the data field as a second formula field.

Do you use any OLE objects in the report? Are there any objects in the page header or page footer of the report that vary in size?

It was a picture that grew - I locked the size.
