Value does not fall within the expected range - Crystal Report hot fix

[anamika]

Hi
I've created a fresh Crystal Report in Visual Studio .NET 2003.
I'm aware of the problem that Crystal Reports .NET have by default.
I'm trying to pass a string parameter to my report.
If my string is longer than 254 characters I get this error: "value
does not fall within the expected range".
Bussines Objects provides a solution to this error -> install the hot
fix service pack.
I installed the hot fix ( crnet11win_en.zip -- Crystal Reports for
Visual Studio .NET 2003 ) but my problem is not solved.
Version of the reference to CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine is
still 9.2.9500.1
Its not getting updated and I still get the same error.
What should I do??
