    report textbbox for long text issue

    Hi, I have created my report and need to add a legal disclaimer. This is a simple text but quite long. I try to do this by using the ab box and drag it into the report footer.


    But there is always a message poping up saying that the text is too long and that there might me some characters not recognized by the application.
    Any idea what I am doing wrong?
    Tks in advance

    Markus

    Don't use the 'ab' box, that is a label function and is very limited, instead try using an unbound field. The only thing you have to change is encapsulate your message in quotes like:

    ="This is my legal disclaimer"
