    Posted: 06 Sep 2011 at 3:15am
I have some string fields:

302.01
302.01.A
303.01
303.01.B
303.01.C

I need to cut the .A .B etc off of in this report. Is this possible in crystal reports?

Also, if I have a field that is String (40), is there anyway to cut it to be a String (5)?

Are the fields always formatted as XXX.XX and so forth?

If you want just the first 5 charcaters, you can use the left() function to grab the first six characters (5 numbers including the first period).
