Formatting command parameter

Question

I'm using Crystal Reports 10 against a SQL Server 2005 database.
I have an external stored procedure that expects the date to be passed in mm/dd/yyyy format. However, when I create a date parameter for the Command that calls it, Crystal translates it into SQL Server format, which presumably is read as yyyy-mm-dd. I could work around this by using a string parameter, but then I'd lose the calendar control.
Is there any way to get both the date-picking functionality and my desired formatting? Thanks.

Hi Garrett Fitzgerald,
In order to get the date value like mm/dd/yyyy
try adding command in crystal reports like this
exec (stored procedure name) (month({?date parameter})+"/"+day(({?date parameter})+"/"+year(({?date parameter}))
I hope this helps!
