	I don't want my text line to grow, in some cases I expect it to show what it can and truncate off. It grows horizontally writting over the fields that are there and giving a double image mess. Can grow = false as I did not need it to grow vertically either. How do I get the horizontal to not grow?

	I ran into this issue and opened a support issue on it. The way to resolve this is a registry setting on the server where the report runs. Log in to the server as the user ID under which the reports run. In RegEdit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Crystal Reports\Saved Data. Add the following key: TruncateClippedFieldStrings = Yes -Dell

	Thanks, I have the problem on my local machine, not yet published. I looked under the _current_user/Software/ but no buisness Objects folder. I did find a path under HKey_Local_machine/Software/Business Objects\Crystal Reports\ --- But then no Saved Data.. Only something called Default which is type Reg_Sz I will go check this on the server we will be deploying this to. It may be a difference of local & Server.. Just kind of stuck at where to go from the local machine though. Do we create a new key under this folder?

	This is the registry key that I got from SAP Tech Support to resolve this issue. It doesn't work under HKEY_Local_Machine. You may also need to create the folders in order to get it to work. -Dell
