Hi,

Is there a patch/fix available to prevent the field values NOT to overlap when the report is viewed using a Crystal Report Viewer. We are using RAS 11.

Our report designers designed the reports in such a way that they appear truncated but when a user who is viewing the report does a tooltip will see the full description, it works as intended in the crystal designer but not in report viewer after the report is published. If even selected "locl size and position" on the field as well as unchecked "Can Grow" option and still it does not work on the viewer.

Does anyone have/had the same issue.. can it be prevented or does a patch exist for this issue.

Thanks,

VRS

This could be a problem for me then, as well. My users also export to Excel quite a lot.

I am current on service packs and the behavior is still there, but I don't know if any hot fixes since then will correct this. On another area of the businessobjects.com website I got the impression that this behavior is now considered "normal", even though it did not exist in Crystal Enterprise 8. My tech support call to India did not help... I was repeatedly told that I needed to correct this by using a formula and truncating characters, which is ridiculous.

Business Objects needs to recognize this as the software bug that it is and correct it!
