    Cant execute a update querry

    I am trying to run an update querry that combines two fields from my Database. I am doing it this way as its only way I can figure out how to validate the entries in the form. here is my code . I am getting an error my querry can't be found but I know its saved as I can run it outside my form. is this a limitation of access? Thanks in advance for help

    Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
    Dim dbs As DAO.Database
    Dim lngRowsAffected As Long
    Dim lngRowsDeleted As Long
    Set dbs = CurrentDb
    ' Execute runs both saved queries and SQL strings
    dbs.Execute updatevalfield, dbFailOnError
    ' Get the number of rows affected by the Action query.


    ' You can display this to the user, store it in a table, or trigger an action
    ' if an unexpected number (e.g. 0 rows when you expect > 0).
    lngRowsAffected = dbs.RecordsAffected

    dbs.Execute "DELETE FROM tblMyTable WHERE Bad", dbFailOnError
    lngRowsDeleted = dbs.RecordsAffected

    End Sub

    The query name is a string argument. Try:

    dbs.Execute "updatevalfield", dbFailOnError

    I assume Bad is a Yes/No field?
