I am trying to create a select expert on field Account.Type where I want to return any record where Account.Type is null OR Account.Type is Prospect. Using Crystal Reports 8.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Don't use the select expert for this, just write a record selection formula.

Click on report, edit selection formula, record and enter a formula:

Isnull({Account}) or {Account}="Prospect"

It is important to always make the null test first, as crystal has trouble processing nulls at times.

Also, unfer file, options, reporting tab, there is a "convert null field value to default" checkbox. Make sure this is not clicked as it may get in the way of your null test.
