Topic: can you change the field type from string to memo? Posted: 07 Feb 2008 at 2:44pm
i'm a brand new user of crystal. i created a report that pulls data from 11 columns in an excel spreadsheet. some of the fields imported into crystal as memo fields. this is good. others imported as a string field. this is bad. there are cells in those columns that have more than 255 characters, so they are getting cut off.
is there way to change a field type after it has been created?

I have just resolved the same problem and discovered that a text formula value in the report was being truncated at 255 characters, due to an unmapped data field, revealed by the verify database option.
Once I had dealt with the unmapped data field, the truncated field immediately expanded its output beyond 255 characters.
I was using ODBC text driver and Crystal Reports XI R2.
