[AccessD] Multiple Criteria Query

Okay...am I being an absolute idiot.....or what am I doing wrong here??

I have a query that I want to return all records that meet criteria on
line ONE (in msquery) ...OR....all the records that meet criteria on
line TWO.

As long as I have the criteria (about 6 fields with criteria filters) on
only one line....I get either set of criteria to work.  BUT...once I add
the second set of criteria, on line two......I wind up with a TON of
records....much more than either set alone.

To try to elaborate.....I have this query where the first line of
criteria is for all AR activity where TransType="CR", AccountType =
"Regular",Amount <>0, Period is >2007....Invoice Number is All, Project#
is All.

It gives me 287 records.  Then...I want to add a second line of criteria
where I am wanting it to return all TransType="CR", for Project#
="88-99999.09"

When I add that second criteria....I get back 13,000 records.

????? Am I just being stupid....or shouldn't I be able to get the
original 287 records...AND....the ONE record that satisfies the second
line of criteria...for a total of 288 records???

This is driving me crazy.

Thanks,
