This is how you get around the Crystal Report ver 8.5 254 character string rule for CR text box being pulled using a SQL Server database or
VBcoders
Make the datatype for the field you are trying to show in Crystal Reports a text datatype and not Char, ntext or varChar. Just "text" -- This will allow the field to be recognized in CR as a memo field which will allow you get beyond the 254 string rule
In version 9 you do not have to worry about this problem.
That's it
Good luck :)
