Hi,
Crystal 7. The application provides a free flow comments section for each employee. These comments are stored in 256 byte records in the database. So each employees comments can be made up of one or more of the 256 byte records. Once a record is filled another record is started, so for example the word "crystal" may be split between records. So when I try to display the records for an employee it looks all chopped up. I thought I could just add these strings together in a formula but there is a limit on the length of a string in a formula.

Any thoughts???

Thank you,
 
Put all fields including Feedback1+Feedback2+feedback3 as one field in to a stored procedure and use that stored procedure into the Crystal report.

 
Thanks Ravula,

However I am trying to do it within crystal without creating additional objects on the database.
