IIf function fails in report

[Bob]

I am producing a report from a query. The query has a
field named CORP ADDRESS? that it gets from a table in the
database. CORP ADDRESS? is a true-false field indicating
whether a particular person gets their mail at the
corporate address or some other address.

Viewing the query shows that the values in this field are
either "True" or "False" as expected. When I create a
report with the [CORP ADDRESS?] field in it, the "True"
or "False" values show up correctly.

However, when I try to use that field in an IIf function
to get some more useful information in the report, the
result is always returns True. For instance:
=IIf([CORP ADDRESS?],"Company", "Home")
always results in "Company" being printed whether CORP
ADDRESS? is true or false.

What's wrong?

You need a test condition. I usually have 0 or -1 values
for my field, so it would be something like the following.

=IIf([CORP ADDRESS?]= -1,"Company", "Home")
