Advanced: Requires expert coding, interoperability, and multiuser skills.
When you use the Output To command to save the output of a report to MS-DOS
Text (.TXT) format, some of the data in the output file may be truncated.
All of the data appears correctly when you print or preview the report.
CAUSE
The Output To command ignores the CanGrow property for text boxes and
sections when you save to a text file. The data that fits in the text box
or section's original size will be output and the rest will be truncated.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, either change the size of the text box or
section so that all the data fits, or save the report to Rich Text Format
(.RTF) instead of text, and then use another application or utility to
convert the file to text format.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access version
2.0. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 7.0.
