i have these filters on my dataBand which is running on a "data from other DataSource" result coming directly from a view in my database.

the variables i am testing against are being passed correctly, and either of these will work separately, but when i combine them, i get no result and the report does not build.
if i change the ">=" operands to "=" then i get error CS0019, which states an error in the "&&" if statement builder that is creating the filter.
how can i get both of these filters to be active?
