You appear to be conflating the concepts of Recordset and QueryDef.

If you have a QueryDef, you can open it in the QBE grid with Docmd.Openquery.
You can get it's SQL by using th QueryDef object's SQL property

Function ShowQuery() As Long
Dim strQName As String
Dim qd As QueryDef
strQName = "qryMyQuery"
Set qd = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(strQName)
MsgBox qd.Name
MsgBox qd.SQL
DoCmd.OpenQuery strQName
End Function
