Overflow Field Representation

[Former Member]

I have several fields on my report that will not accept overflow field representation. I have checked several times to ensure that Allow Field Clipping is turned off.

The report is based off of a .Net dataset as the datasource. No matter what I seem I can't get it to display the overflow version. These are new reports created from scratch.

Is there any other settings needed to enable this?

A report wide setting maybe? Is there a Crystal Setting?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Matthew,

I might be reaching here but are you sure the fields are numeric and not string?

What happens if you create a formula with tonumber()?

Thanks for the reply, I thought of that and they are numbers. In fact its really the total fields that are overflowing not usually the number fields themselves.

A little more information this seem like it may have to do with the .Net Dataset. I just noticed that another one of my reports that uses a dataset has the same problem. However I created a new report and connected directly to the database and the numbers are in Overflow representation. I did go ahead and try to use tonumber and it still didn't fix the issue. Interesting...

Has anyone had this issue with a .Net dataset? I am creating the report from Crystal Reports not in Visual Studio, Crystal XI R2.

Thanks,

Matt
