The Setting For This Property Is Too Long

[StumblingThrough]

When running the Performance Analyzer, I receive a message stating that "The setting for this property is too long", and the Sorting & Grouping dialog box from one of my reports is displayed. The message box has only an "OK" button, and the message appears during the analysis of the reports portion of the database, before the analysis results are displayed. When I press the "OK" button, the analysis continues as normal, and no other symptoms apparently result from this message. But I would like to know what is causing this message. I've checked through the reports and everything looks OK. Thanks in advance.

Just a thought:

Perhaps your field and table names are long, which would cause a complex sort and/or grouping to be more than 128 characters. I can't confirm it but I know that some of the functions don't like an overly long syntax. Shortening up your names would make the final syntax shorter and possibly remove this message.
