Subject: Crystal Generates Incorrect SQL Statements

I wrote a stored proceedure that selects the top 5 most run reports in our system.
The query runs fine in SQL studio and if a co-worker logs in and puts it into a report, everything goes fine. (We are logging on to the same computer. Same version of crystal, etc.)
When I try to select the stored proceedure, i get the following error:
 
Query Engine Error: 'ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
Source: Microsoft SQL Native Client
Description: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'CONVERT'.
SQL State: 42000
Native Error: 156'
 
(I do not use 'CONVERT' in my query.)
I noticed that in my version of crystal the sql query reads like this:

"HDSLive"."dbo"."HDS_SP_CR_Top5Reports";1 CONVERT(DATETIME, '2009-07-01 00:00:00', 120), CONVERT(DATETIME, '2009-07-15 00:00:00', 120)
 
When my coworker runs the report, crystal generates SQL without the 'CONVERT' operators.
 
Is there a setting that governs SQL generation? Why would my co-worker's SQL be different than mine?

Update: I did some more testing and this same problem occurs only with date time paramters.

Problem solved: Switched from SQL Native Client to SQL Client driver. SQL now runs beautifully. Hope this helps someone else down the road.

sorry, but what do you mean by "SQL Client driver"
