SQL command date parameters breaking SQL code

Question

Hello,
I have an SQL statement that executes without error against Oracle 10g.  I've created a command in Crystal Reports 2008 for it.  It uses a date range.  When I parametrize the date range, and select 'Date' as my value type for the parameter, it breaks the SQL with the following error:
"Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
[Database Vendor Code: 907]"
Here is a sample SQL statement that breaks:
SELECT *
FROM gift g
WHERE g.gift_date_of_record BETWEEN to_date ('{?GiftDateStart}', 'mm/dd/yyyy')
  AND to_date ('{?GiftDateEnd}', 'mm/dd/yyyy')
Has anyone else experienced this problem or know a work-around?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Do it like this
SELECT *
FROM gift g
WHERE g.gift_date_of_record BETWEEN to_date ('{?GiftDateStart}', 'dd/mm/yyyy')
AND to_date ('{?GiftDateEnd}', 'dd/mm/yyyy')
I hope this will help you.
