You can change the length of blob/memo fields in Vantage to be 255 or less, Crystal Reports will then let you use these fields in formulae.
I think the info was on the ERANet, if not, email me privately & I will see if I can find it here (My desk is a mess as I am moving locations)

Subject: [Vantage] blob fields in Vantage 5.0/Crystal 8.5
In Vantage 5.0, Part Descriptions are now blob/memo fields instead of string fields. Crystal 8.5 will not allow you to use memo fields in formulas. So now I can't select records based on Part Descriptions any more. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
