String too long?

In Crystal 8.0.1.0, when I read in a string with a length of 500 from a table, I am unable to do any filtering against that string. Also, when I do a distinct select, this field seems to be ignored and I get strings with the exact same values. This field seems to be treated differently than other strings because of its long length. So what is the longest length I can have for a string before it becomes unfilterable? Also, are there any ways to get around this?
