I'm not answering because I think I'm smarter
Where is/was "me.fields"? You cannot use Me in query design - only on code behind a form and even then it has to be concatenated. Not in a standard code module either.
Not clear to me what the problem or solution was based on your posts. Can't say that I ever experienced the issue you solved by changing the data source for a form. It's one of those things that I'd do, experience an issue and say, "oh yeah, forgot to save my design changes when I switched from design to form view". Then you (I) just forget it ever happened, make the fix and move on.
I think solved is in the thread tools drop down.
