In the Report Designer, can you go to File/Page Setup and change it to landscape? If that is acceptable, the open the report table and delete the DRIVER, DEVICE and OUTPUT lines from the EXPR field in the report.FRX table. Then clear out the TAG and TAG2 fields.
>I have a report which contains a reportfield that is appropximately 200 pixels in length and there is no room to make it any wider. My client wants to fit in four fields, subdivsn c(25), phase_unit c(4), block c(4), and lot c(8) in that order. Well of course if all the characters are non-blank, they will not all fit. But if it can not all fit they want the full lot, block, and phase_unit and trim the subdivsn.
