I have done something like this in the past.
I created 2 or 3 calculated fields in Crystal.
1st it copied the 1st part of the comment into the 1st field.
next It looked at the length of the comment field and and it was longer than x number of characters then it copied the next part into the 2nd field. the 1st field went in the page header. The second field went into a group header right under the page header.
You can continue checking and copy data into the 3rd field etc.

Subject: [Vantage] Quote Report - long QuoteComment field
To: vantage@yahoogroups.com

We often have long comments in the Quote Header Comments. This field is in the PageHeader of the Crystal Report. If the comment is long enough that it causes a page break, the report will not generate (makes sense, since it's a "page header"). Unchecking the Keep Together option is not possible in the Page Header.
I've tried moving the QuoteComment to the group header section, making it the first one so it would still print in the same part of the report. Same problem.
Any ideas? We'd like to find a solution that would allow a comment of any size / any number of pages.
I'm sure someone has been through this, but searching hasn't yielded anything useful. *shrug* :(
