Seriously, you're going to limit the characters for the custom report path to 30 characters or less.
Please expand this to 60. It's kind of ridiculous that the file path to the reports folder is 31 characters.
So your idea is to for me to be creative and put the files elsewhere?
That is not a viable solution for an expensive product.

I'd say expand it even beyond 60.
Similar issue with the filename. Often you have to get creative in renaming the file because you're limited on the number of characters.
This goes along with UNC/Drive letter mapping issues. Some of these items seem rooted in the old 8.3-style/Pre-long file name world.
The 30 character limitation is for the *.RPT name not the path. The display on the menu is a 40 character description of the report.
The only limitations to file names should be the same as Windows. Also having to add "Custom" to the end of the file name makes no sense to me, since you are pointing to where the crystal file is. One of my big issues is that Sage moves these custom files into the root REPORTS folder
