Remaining text error when changing the database in use

Question

Hi
This is my first post on this forum. I tried searching for this problem but could not find anything.
I have a VS2005 Winforms application using a number of reports. The approach that I have taken is:
report = new ReportDocument();
report.Load(reportPath);
report.SetDataSource(dataSet.Tables["Data"]);
this.crystalViewer.ReportSource = report;
selectPanel.SetParameterValues(report);
where the datatable is populated with the results of a stored proc execution on SQL Server, and the last line is a virtual function that populates any parameters required by the report. The reports were originally created by referencing the stored proc on a test database, and everything worked great. The reports ran correctly in the design environment and in the application.
Then I moved the application to a production database on the same server. This was done by changing a connection string parameter used by the sproc that populates the dataset. Now all the reports, including several that take no parameters, fail with the error message:
The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula
Error in formula <Record_Selection>
'UNUSED'
The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula
None of the reports have a formula called <Record_Selection>, so I am assuming that this is an internal function of some sort.
The databases are essentially identical and I have tested the sprocs in the new database. I have also confirmed that the data table is correctly populated before the above code is executed.
Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to stop this error?
Many thanks
Jonathan

Thanks for responding.
The database connection is OLEDB for SQL Server, the report was built using this connection but the run-time data is not supplied by that connection. Rather the application populates the data table that is passed to the report's SetDataSource method. The application uses ADO.Net SQL native drivers.
I am using the report designer in VS2005.
I had assumed that I do not need to update the connection data for the report as the data is supplied in the data table. Does the report care about the connection if the data is supplied by a pre-filled data table?
My problems is that I do not have a report selection field in the reports itself, as the selection is controlled when the application fills the data table. The reports worked properly until I changed the application's connection string to the production database. Now I get this error.
I have confirmed that the data table contains the same data from the production database and the development database, so I am quite confused....
Any more thoughts?
Regards and thanks again
