Using memo fields in formula in VC++ application and using CR 8.5

[dhanashri]

Hello

I have a VC++ GUI application which takes in variety of parameters and the prepares a query and generate crystal report. I am having problem with the memo fields as i can't get them in formula can someone give me an idea how to use memo fields in formula, or any other work around. As I am very new to crstal reports some code in VC++ as to how to do this will be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

That's a limitation of CR 8.X and below, 254 char fields are the max to be used in a formula.

Cast or Convert the memo field into 254 size chunks and you can then use them in formulas.
