Anniversary date in a query

[penret]

SELECT CLIENT.PLAN_CODE, EMPLOYEE.[First Name], CLIENT.COMPANY, CLIENT.CONTACT, CLIENT.[CONSULTANT CONTACT], CLIENT.[CONSULTANT SALUTATION], CLIENT.STREET, CLIENT.CITY, CLIENT.STATE, CLIENT.ZIP, CLIENT.SALUTATION, EMPLOYEE.MI, EMPLOYEE.[Last Name], CLIENT.ANN, CLIENT.SPECIAL, CLIENT.[year of sale], CLIENT.STATUS, CLIENT.TYPE
FROM CLIENT INNER JOIN EMPLOYEE ON CLIENT.EE_CODE = EMPLOYEE.EE_Code
WHERE (((CLIENT.ANN) Like "12/31/**") AND ((CLIENT.SPECIAL) Is Null) AND ((CLIENT.[year of sale])<>2005) AND ((CLIENT.STATUS)="1") AND ((CLIENT.TYPE)<>"ps"))
ORDER BY EMPLOYEE.[First Name], CLIENT.COMPANY;

This is a mail merge query.
1. If Client Ann is like 12/31/** and Client Type is like PS then it runs fine.
2. If Ann is 12/31/** and Type is Not PS (as above)it has no records when merged.
3. If Ann is null and Type is Not PS it merges fine.

Thank you for any help
