Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.

Question

Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure?  Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters". 
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.
Pulling what's left of my hair out . . .
