Parameter Fields 1

[malk]

I am using a CSV data fomat for my Crystal Reporting in 8.0. I made a field "123" into a "date" field. When I use a parameter value "date Selector", and give it a date type, it doesnt come up as a choice in the "Select Expert" to set my "123" field to. But when I make "date Selector" type "string" the Select Expert does see this. Why is this happening?
Also, does anyone know how to display the user prompts from the parameter fields in a more user friendly way? if anyone has this in VB please let me know.
