Calendar control not binding default data

Question

Hi All,
I an using the calendar component to set the data my QaaWS looksup data for. The problem is the first time I display the calendar, it does not insert the current selection into my destination cells. THis is not happening all the time or for all calendars.
I have 5 calendar controls on a dashboard. Each is set to dynamically display. When displayed it is supposed to display a selected data, which I can see is correct if I use the spreadsheet component. However, when the 4th aand 5th components are displayed they do not insert the data to the data insertion cells, for month (sometimes) and year (always) unless I change that data.

You are right, it sure doesn't prove anything other than how the date looks right out of the Oracle database, but hopefully, it will give a clue as to how I need my SSRS date parameter to work.

I get ORA-01722: invalid number when I try the following:
SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE STARTDATE >= TO_CHAR('3/03/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')

It works. The problem is getting the parameter '3/3/2012' into a usable format for Oracle.
Let's assume an application is sending in '3/3/2012' which will be used in an Oracle query (no PL/SQL allowed, nor can I create functions, stored procedures, etc - only straight up SQL). How can I prepare the parameter to successfully do the compare on the Oracle Date field?
