Crystal Reports Error

I am new to Crystal Reports and I am trying to set up a very basic report for
display. However when the report tries to run I get this error:

Error in file <file name and location>:
Buffer too small for string or missing null byte

I have no idea why I am getting this. I looked for this error on Google and
found 1 other person with this same problem and they stated that they tried
it with an ODBC instead of ADO and it worked. So I did the same and I too got
it to work with ODBC. However I would rather use ADO but I can't get around
this error. Anyone know what the problem is?

I figured out the problem. It seems as though in my version of Crystal
Reports, the file path that points to the DB that my report uses cannot
exceed 127 characters in length.
