Brackets look OK.

Try deleting the SubReport Parameter {?Pm-?Reporting Time Frame} and recreating
Following system change make sure field linked to this parameter is the same datatype

I think it might be the HASVALUE() function. That function might not exist in your version of Crystal (it doesn't in mine).
You can probably change it over in some way by using the isnull() function.

Maybe: not(isnull({?Pm-?Reporting Time Frame}))

That isn't CR designer error. It looks like you are running the report from within an application when that error occurs. So, you need to know what version of the runtime is being used by that application. My guess is that it is an older version that doesn't support optional parameters, so the HasValue() won't be supported.
