Access is messing up my query sql

[Pachydermitis]

Help, What am I missing?
I have a query that I am limiting by date - between 4/2002 and 9/2004.
Unfortunately , I only have months and years to work with.
When I make the where statement:
(Month([Date])>=4 And Year([Date])>=2002) And (Month([Date])<=9 And
Year([Date])<=2004)
Access kindly changes it to:
((Month([Date]))>=4 And (Month([Date]))<=9) AND ((Year([Date]))>=2002
And (Year([Date]))<=2004))
Which is not remotely the same thing.
Thanks in advance

Yes it is.

In general

(A And B) And (C And D)

is equivalent to

(A And C) And (B And D)

is equivalent to

A And B And C And D

Both criteria will (incorrectly) exclude cases like 1/2003.

You might instead try something like:

[Date]>=DateSerial(2002,4,1) And [Date]<DateSerial(2004,9+1,1)
