Hi Stephen > Thanks Joshua - I got to the bottom of it ... eventually. I have queries which reference fields on a Form as criteria (criteria:Forms!Form1!field1). Many of these fields are on sub-forms, in fact > worse than that, subforms of a form which is the Page in a Tab Control. > Access 2003 queries seem to be extremely fussy how you reference these fields. You must have the precise syntax. So, where this worked previously > (Forms!MainForm!SubForm!Field), now I must have > (Forms!MainForm!SubForm.Form!Field) > in order for the queries to ReQuery correctly in 2003. > The new syntax also works in A2000. "New"? This syntax has been in use since Access 1.0. It has caused many grey hairs - perhaps that's why MS allowed the simpler syntax but later regretted for some reason. /gustav
