I use stored procedures all the time instead of linking my records through crystal. It also provides
additional options of using crystal to update the database, create temporary tables for multiple tables concatenation, merge
multiple selections of data, just about anything. Pretty dangerous way to use Crystal. 

Creating your stored procedure with parameters will automatically create the parameter in Crystal. All you need to do then is set
the format mask and prompt string.
