title: Crystal Reports 2011 report will not show date parameter without prompting
body: <p>Here's another question Google seems to be unable to answer, and I'm tearing my hair out over:</p>
  
  <p>How do you get a Crystal report to display a date that you passed it as a parameter without prompting you for said date whenever you run the report?</p>
  
  <p>I'm passing the report a "from date" and a "to date" to retrieve all records within a specified time range.  It is getting this information fine from the stored procedure populating the table the report is attached to.  I created parameter fields on the report to store these values.</p>
  
  <p>However, every time I try to put these parameter fields onto the report, so I can make sure whenever its printed whomever did the printing knows what date range was selected on the printout they're looking at, the report starts prompting for a date every time its run, even though the stored procedure is passing it the date.  I even tried using fromdate and todate formula fields to receive the dates from their respective parameter fields and then put both formula fields onto the report.  Same result:  the report prompts for a date value that it should already have.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make it stop doing this?</p>
