Cannot display 255 characters in crystal report

hi Guys,

I am using crystal report 8.5 component with vb 6.0.
i have used the crystal report dsr in my vb project and i am using ado for database connection.
my datafield in sql server is varchar(1000).
but when i acess it/or display that field in crystal report it only displays 255 characters. Reason for this is that may be it assumes varchar as string and string limitation is of 255 characters.now other option in crystal report to display more than 255 characters is to use memo.
but i am not getting how to use that with ado.
or how to configure that ado?

Guys anybody have solution for this???
Then plz plz reply ........
