Hi all,

I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of chracters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow. I just want the report to show me the right-hand side of this path and cut off the left.
How do I do this when still aligning my text to the left?

Many thanks!

Could you give a sample Data and what you wish to see as output?

Sometimes I don't understand requests, why insist on aligning to the left if the important bit is the right and you don't mind losing the left, :confused:
