Recently had a client upgrade form 2002/2000 to 2003 and encountering a strange problem.

Used the following criteria:
Code: 
[Forms]![frmIssues_2]![sfrmActionItems]![ActionID]

to reference a subform in a query. Works fine in 2000/2002, fails in 2003. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks,
CT

This is what I found online that's supposed to always work.

[Forms]![frmIssues_2]![sfrmActionItems].Form![ActionID]

However, both the above and below worked on my install when testing pulling a query field value from a subform.

Forms![frmIssues_2].[sfrmActionItems].Form![ActionID]
