base query on open form's current record.

[Gbros5]

I've gotten quite rusty at Access. I have a form with auto ID.
I have several queries based on the open ID record in the underlying table.
It worked perfectly for several years.
Recently I get the error message "engine does not recognize [Forms]![frmBlockTradeMainForm]![ID] as a valid field name or expression. " (it doesn't work with Where, or Group)

Also, a second of these queries will only open in the sequel screen. Same error message. Unfortunately I fooled around with it and I messed it up. Grrr. Any way to recover the design screen?

I note that entering the record ID number directly into the query works.

What's up? I appreciate any help you can give! G

Perhaps you have changed the name of the form "frmBlockTradeMainForm" or the field "ID"

I triple checked all entries, for spaces, spelling, and all. even re-entered the criteria.
I tested the query by changing the formula to the actual ID # on the open form.
That worked perfectly.

So, when I open the query with the [Forms]![filename]![ID]-
the underlying table or the query don't seem to know what record is open?

Should I be using Group on or Where?
I tried them both, no luck.

I should note that the database is now living in the cloud, in case that matters, although it worked perfectly for almost a year in the cloud.

Thanks so much!
