Display issue
Hi,

I am creating a report that displays many fields.
For space reason, we display for some field only the first charcters ex:
if field ='D-2.3 AAAAAAAAAAAAA' then we display
'D-2.3'
Some users rise the following question:
Is there a way when the report is generated, to point with the mouse for example 'D-2.3' and then the rest of the field will be displayed?

Note we are using a calculated field to extract the first set of caracters from the original field.

Thanks

Majid.

Can't answer your question, but were you aware that you can change display on the fly so to speak.

Say a field is NAME is A30

You can say
PRINT NAME/A20 and it chops it down for display.

You can also do the same with numbers.
