I'm going back to version 6.5 Windows. Funny I never remember having this problem with any of my clients up until now.
They have a NOTE field in a table. Because the data came over from an old DOS database with fixed spacing (they typed in spaces to make formatted tables, blank rows, etc.), the field is printed on reports in Courier with a width that can't be adjusted. They now want to add huge amounts of data into this NOTE field. When printed on the report, it takes up more than 1 page and it simply truncates at the end. Any fields that happened to be below it will also be cut off. Would changing the datatype of this field (like to a varchar) fix the reporting problem? Or will it always truncate at the end? Upgrading to 7.x has about a 5% chance at this huge company. But just so I know -- how are extra long fields handled when printed in 7.x, any data type? Does it go to the next page? Karen
