Crystal Reports 10.2 Error in SelectionFormula???

I have attached the Error Message as a Word Doc so it can be viewed. I'm not sure if the Selection Formula is syntactically correct. I've also included the code that generates the report below:

Code:

---

    Public Sub TimeByProject(ByVal intMO As Integer, ByVal intYR As Integer)
        Try
            strModule = "modReporting"

            Dim crDOC As New rptTimeByProject
            Dim strSelectionFormula As String = ""

            crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo

            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = "ServerName"
                .DatabaseName = "SCTime"
                .IntegratedSecurity = True
            End With

            crDB = crDOC.Database
            crTables = crDB.Tables

            For Each crTable In crTables
                crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
                crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
            Next

            frmReports.rptViewer.DisplayGroupTree = False
            strSelectionFormula = "month({tblTimeSheetDetail.beginPeriodDate}) = " & intMO & " AND year({tblTimeSheetDetail.beginPeriodDate}) = " & intYR
            crDOC.RecordSelectionFormula = strSelectionFormula
            frmReports.rptViewer.ReportSource = crDOC
            frmReports.ShowDialog()
            crDOC = Nothing

            crDB = Nothing
            crTables = Nothing
            crConnectionInfo = Nothing

        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
    End Sub

any ideas on this???

Well, based on the error message, Crystal does not recognize that the {tblTimeSheetDetail.beginPeriodDate} field is a Date/Time field.

Check the database. Is it a date/time field or perhaps its a string field that contains date data?

Has the database changed after the report was initially created?

Bruce,

It's a field that contains a date value, however, it's type is not a datetime.

Then, to use the Month, Year functions you need to convert the field to a datetime data type. You could also use String functions Left, Right, Mid) to parse out the date part values.

month(cdate({tblTimeSheetDetail.beginPeriodDate}))
