10Are there any limitations in crystal reports?
1. In export- While exporting data formatting is lost.2. If database is having field whose length is more than 255 characters, thenyou cannot make formula using that field.3.When you browse data just by right clicking on the field then it displays that isthere in the database not the data selected by the query.[Yes , 1)It will not recognize the HTML tag </li></ul>.This is giving a problem inorder to get a bullet indent for some text display in PDF reports.2) Its not possible to customize the length and width of the legend of a chart.3) Table object is not given in crystal report. Because of this if we cannot have atable auto grow option as we find it in the MS word table.][Limit of tables I have near about 13000+ tables which are created at runtime. Icannot select these tables I think there is a limit near about 8500][Crystal doesn't support an LDAP connection.][1) You cannot change the format of the date field used in parameter 2) You cannot insert sub report into another sub report3) You cannot export the report to PDF with group ( it is introduced in CrystalReports 11 R2)4) There is no option to save the report in previous versions]
