Crystal Report using Stored Procedure

I'm using Crystal 10. I have a stored procedure I wrote that exists in an MS SQL 2000 database. From the Crystal development environment, I open the Database Expert window so that I can select the Stored Procedure I want to base the report on.

When I try to select my stored proc (by moving it from the left to the right), I get a message that says "Query Engine Error: 'Cannot obtain error message from server'"

Now....My stored proc takes one parameter. I noticed that if I alter the stored proc so that it does *not* take a parameter then I do not get the error.

So my question is: What is causing this error, and how do I get Crystal to connect to a stored proc that requires a parameter?
 

I solved it myself. I had to make sure that every path in the stored procedure would return a dataset. One of my IF...ELSE blocks had a branch that did not return a dataset. Once I fixed that, the error message went away.
