Using Crystal XI I am tapping into and XLS file. Most of the fields within the file are being considered by Crystal as Strings and when viewed in Crystal's Field Explorer all of the Database String fields have a [255] following the field....

example: Form_Submitted_By: String [255]

I have found that the fields are then limited to 255 characters. While some of the cells within the XLS file have more than 255 characters how can I increase this amount to accommodate those cells that have greater than 255?

Thank you for your help.
