Printing memo field from employee setup...

Question

I'm using Crystal Reports, i would like to print out the memo field from custom fields for any employees who have a memo entered? 
 
 "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE__CUSTOM_FIELDS" is the table 
 and 
 "Employee_Custom_Flds_Nots: Memo" is the field 
 This is not a browsable field in Crystal Reports and if I just add tghe field to a report it prints nothing. 
 Thanks 
 V

 The join type to the custom field table is an Inner join. This join type will return no data to the report if there is no value in the custom field. 
 Resolution 
 
 Change the join type to Left Outer: 
 
 Go to Database , Database Expert . 
 Select the Links tab. 
 Click on the join line to select and click Link Options . 
 Select Left Outer Join and click OK . 
 Click OK to close the Database Expert window.
