Select * FROM AgentsQ
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM SalesQ
WHERE ClosingDate BETWEEN #8/1/2004# AND #8/1/2005#) Order By
AgentOfficeID, Tier"

You did not corellate the subquery to the outer query:

Select * FROM AgentsQ A
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SalesQ B WHERE ClosingDate BETWEEN '8/1/2004' AND '8/1/2005' AND B.AgentID=A.AgentID)
Order By AgentOfficeID, Tier"
