ODBC Text Area Field

edited Dec 3, 2019 3:47PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

We just recently purchased the ODBC driver to enable us to print out a more complicated Sales Order.  However, I have had some problems getting things to work.

I started using MS Access to create the report, but when linking the tables, we have a custom field in our inventory items of type Text Area, but Access defines it as a Text field with a limit of 255 characters, and line feeds do not seem to get interpreted properly.  Any ideas on how to get the data out?

As a second option, I downloaded the newest Crystal Reports and tried to create the same report, but none of the fields get populated into Crystal.  For example, I created a new report, selected the Netsuite.com connection, selected the ITEMS table, but when going to the next screen to grab the fields, clicking on the + sign to expand the table does nothing (almost seems as thought the ODBC driver is failing).

Howdy, Stranger!
