How can I format the description field in the table so that the text wraps up?
Thanks

this is a presentation issue and has to be done at front end application. formatting is not under scope of db and there's no need of handling it here

yes, I am designing this using the wizard.
Placed a table in the report to show the data...
If the description field is too large then the description cell of the table control becomes to tall on the report which does not look good.
Is there a wrap or similar kind of property for the case when the field has too much data so that it wraps the cell?
Thanks

yep..in the cell properties in report you can increase the width of cell to accomodate for large values. also set auto growing property to true and minimise the border and padding values
