I created a report using Crystal Reports 2008 that excepts a single parameter.  When the report is ran in SAP BusinessObjetcs XI 3.1 it does not display the prompt.  It simply fires off with whatever value used when the report was last ran in Crystal Reports.  What is the cause of this?  How do I fix this?

Report Ignores Prompts

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
