You can change your table design to have the receive_date as datetime or date. Select the table and then right-click to go to design view. There you can change the datatype. Save it.
Else you can achieve it by using the below query
SELECT sent_by, sent_date, recive_date FROM evaluation WHERE decision='Approve'
AND (CAST(recive_date AS Date) BETWEEN $P{sdte} AND $P{edte})
