How to compress feild values in Report

Hello friends,
Right now i m facing very big problem do you have any idea if data is too long then field values should be compress ... is there any way to solve this problem please reply me ASAP .. i will really appreciate for it....

Thanks in Advance 

hi Naeem,

r u talking abt suppress?

thanks for the reply dear but suppress is not the solution asking about if i have long data suppose i have 5 digit numeric but i don't have space for it its automatically going in second line i want to compress this digits and come into one line should not be break without increasing field size...

What data? Database data or data in a control or some other data?

What determines that the data is "too long"? Is it the definition of the field or is it some other limitation?

thanks for the reply sam
supose in column have address now its displaying in report but when its coming its cutting in next line so i want that to compress value if its possible... in database have 255 var char but in reports its not displaying in 255 characters.. hope you understand what i want sam...        

Okay, Naeem. I think the term you are looking for is wrapping. I think you are saying that the text is wrapping to the next line if it does not fit in the first line.

Do you want to show as much in the first line as will fit but then nothing more or do you need to do something else?
