Hi everyone...

I have a CR that uses a SQL server table for it's datasource. One of the fields has a datatype of "text". This field is on the report with all of the borders set to a black single line and the "Can Grow" turned on. When the report is displayed either in CR or through an ASP page, the field displays correctly. However when I print the report, the text in this field overlaps the edge of the border before it wraps down to the next line (right side of box):

------------------|
This text is over|lapping
the border. |
------------------|

Any ideas as to why this happening and/or how to fix?

Thanks in advance,
mwa
 
Just an update... I made the field about a 1/2" skinnier than it was and the text quit overlapping... But that still doesn't explain why the text was overlapping in the first place?

Any ideas?

Hi

I too had the same problem and I solved it the same way as you did. I think its due to the fonts we use in the report. Some of the fonts will cause this problem while for some others it work perfectly. This may be a crysal bug.

Later,
