Printing memo field from employee setup...

SOLVED

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
