There is an old application written with VB6 and Crystal Reports 8.5.
One of the reports (for example “report1”) has used active data method for retrieving data from SQL Server. It contains a field named “Description” that has 500 characters at most.
The problem is that the field (“Decription”) is cut down to 256 characters.
How can I prevent it in order to show all?
If this is a formula field, I believe a formula field in Crystal Reports 8.5 can only hold up to 256 characters. I can’t imagine why Crystal Reports does that, but there you have it.
