Hi I am modifying a report that came with software the company I work for uses, the software is called E-Automate.  There are several reports it can generate that it outputs to crystal.  The field currently has the following code:

{ICItems.Item}+chr(32)+{ICItems.Description}

I would like {ICItems.Item} to show up in Arial and {ICItems.Description} to show in Times New Roman.  Is there a way to do this.

I can't really split it into 2 fields because the .item filed can be a few numbers or many numbers which then bleed over top of the .description or get cut off if I shorten the filed.  In other words lets say I have:

123 Copier 1
25323456785 Software Product

I would get either:

123                 Copier 1
25323456785 Software Product

which wasts a lot of space considering there are only a few with long item numbers

or

123 Copier 1
2532Software Product

which cuts off the numbers.

I would not mind splitting them if there was some way the .description field could automatically continue after the .item field but I cannot find a way to do this. I can only move the start of a field at design and don't see a way to move it as it is generating the report, at least not in any of the formatting tabs.

I have not used crystal much but I have been programming (more as hobby then professional) since the 80s (Commodore 64 up to Intel pentiums (8/16/32 bit Assembly, VB5, VB.net, PHP, Lua, html)) so I am not intimidated if you wanna throw code it the post.

Thanks

Awesome I just tried that and it works great, I would not have though of that since I don't know crystal all that well yet.  Thanks Brian!
