Bromcom - Merge field limit in Quick Reports

[garethEds]

Morning - I am in the process of migrating our school reports from SIMS to Bromcom. Ideally we want the same format. I've made the template bit am hitting an issue with the merge fields in that I can only have 200 of them merged in (for a whole full school report). I need 255 merge fields.

 

Has anyone come across this limit before? If so - have you got around it anyway?

 

Cheers

Bringing this one to a close - it is possible, but only before you add your extra data fields (such as assessment data).

 

We had our 6 main fields but forgot to add 'Student ID' - so I wanted to add this at the end. Bromcom would not let me, so I deleted all 245 pieces of assessment data fields, then added 'Student ID' and then re-added the 245 extra back in. This let me have 252 - which is above the 200 Bromcom gives in an error message.

 

So it can be done - just in a strange way.
