I have two ClearQuest checkboxes. Both must be 1 (yes) to be counted in a Crystal Reports formula. My formula:

If {ClearQuest.THREA\_\_\_EP\_LIST\_CKBOX\_ACCURATE} = 1 and {ClearQuest.THREA\_\_\_P\_LIST\_CKBOX\_COMPLETED} = 1 then 1  
else 0

Then I use a Crystal Reports Running Total to sum the formula across a number of records.

Works fine in the ClearQuest client; however, when I run it on the web I get an error:

Exception in formula “{@Total-Accurate and Complete}” at “1”: A string is required here.

What must I do to clear this error. I"ve tried it using both string and integer checkboxes - same error.
