It looks like it had the wrong location. I'll put an update in
/emerald/reports on our FTP site.

You can't do this. Crystal uses its own interpreter of the SQL

A quick fix is to load the report in Crystal, select Database...Set
Location and for each table, remove eveything in the bottom frame
except for the table name itself. Also under Database, choose
Show SQL Query and choose the reset option in the lower right hand
corner.
