Data Field not Truncating

[Mariekd]

I have a data field in my report that needs to truncate when it is too long. I do not have "Can Grow" checked, but this field will still run over and interrupt other data.

I cannot reposition this field so it won't interrupt anything else.

Thanks for any help.

If the filed has too many characters without a space this may happen. To avoid this create a formula @MyField having the code

mid(Field,1,20)

So only 20 charaters will be printed
