Crystal Reports - imported parameter values are changing.

I am experiencing something I have not experienced before with the imported parameter values. For example, one of the parameter value is:

CSPACE – Ventilation

I have about 80 values that have the same format, with " - " in the middle. And when I imported these values into the report's parameter, the " -" is changed to something else! It is changed to some weird character. Why is this happening? I do not want to manually enter all the parameter values.
