The probleim is that your CO RESULTS field is null, and you have not provided
for that in your comparisons. Use the nz function in your comparisons, as
follows:

nz(tblCandidates.[CO RESULTS],"")<>"IBA"

In the design view it created a new field named: nz([tblCandidates].[CO
RESULTS],"") and the "SHOW" box is not selected. It moved the criteria that
was under CO RESULTS to this nz([tblCandidates].[CO RESULTS],"") field; is
that the way it is suppose to happen? The selection appears to be correct -
just trying to understand what happened and why.

Thanks MUCH!

It appears that it doesn't meet any of the sets of criteria

Group 1 and Group 2: Num of Calls is not Zero
Group 3, 4, and 5 : [CO Results] is null and that fails the <> "IBA" test

You could try testing specifically for NULL as in
[CO Results] Is Null OR [CO Results] <> "IBA"

Or you could use
[CO Results] & "" <> "IBA"

Since I don't know how you want to handle a null value in this case you might
try something else

WHERE (tblCandidates.PRIORITY<3 AND tblCandidates.DNC=False AND
tblCandidates.Num_of_Calls=0 AND tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS="-")
OR
(tblCandidates.PRIORITY<3 AND tblCandidates.DNC=False AND
tblCandidates.Num_of_Calls=0 AND tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS<>"Bad
Number" And tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS<>"Call Evenings")
OR
(tblCandidates.PRIORITY<3 AND tblCandidates.DNC=False AND
tblCandidates.Num_of_Calls=1 AND tblCandidates.[2nd_Call]<=Date() AND
tblCandidates.Archive>Date() AND (tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS<>"Bad
Number" And tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS<>"Call Evenings") AND
((tblCandidates.[CO RESULTS])<>"IBA"))

OR (((tblCandidates.PRIORITY)<3) AND
((tblCandidates.DNC)=False) AND ((tblCandidates.Num_of_Calls)=2) AND
((tblCandidates.[3rd_Call])<=Date()) AND ((tblCandidates.Archive)>Date()) AND
((tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS)<>"Bad Number" And
(tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS)<>"Call Evenings") AND ((tblCandidates.[CO
RESULTS])<>"IBA"))

OR ((tblCandidates.PRIORITY)<3 AND
(tblCandidates.DNC=False) AND ((tblCandidates.Num_of_Calls)=3) AND
((tblCandidates.Last_Call)<=Date()) AND ((tblCandidates.Archive)>Date()) AND
((tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS)<>"Bad Number" And
(tblCandidates.CALL_RESULTS)<>"Call Evenings") AND ((tblCandidates.[CO

You can set the name of the field with the text and a colon before the
expression. For example, CO_RESULTS: nz([tblCandidates].[CO RESULTS],"").
Access sometimes splits the expression and criteria into two fields (this is
to make the SQL statement valid). If this is the case, the one with the
criteria would not be shown, while the one without the criteria would be
shown.
