Can't get text string to recognize query result

[Guest]

Private Sub cmdConfirm_Click()

Dim strMsg As String

If Me.cboApproval = "Approved" Then
strMsg = "Your meeting request has been approved." & (Chr(13))
strMsg = strMsg & "Meeting Date: " & Format([txtFTDate], "mm/dd/yyyy") &
(Chr(13))
strMsg = strMsg & "Meeting Start: " & Format([txtFTStart], "h:mm AMPM") &
(Chr(13))
strMsg = strMsg & "Meeting End: " & Format([txtFTEnd], "h:mm AMPM") &
(Chr(13))
strMsg = strMsg & "Meeting Location: " & [txtFTBldg] & "." & [txtFTRoom] &
(Chr(13))
strMsg = strMsg & "Your Facilitator will be: " &
queries.[qryPersonName].[FirstName] & (Chr(13))
Else
strMsg = "We're sorry, but your meeting request was disapproved for the
following reason: " & (Chr(13)) & [DisapCode] & (Chr(13))
End If

Where my code falls apart is trying to get the value from
"queries.[qryPersonName].[FirstName]" to provide me with a return value. Did
I completely screw up the formatting on this one? The query parameter is
from a combo box on the form, if that makes any difference. The rest of the
code works fine in debug.print mode.

No, just the syntax. You can't refer to the Queries collection in this way.
Try

DLookUp("[FirstName]", "[qryPersonName]", <optional criteria>)

The criteria should be a String value which evaluates to a valid SQL WHERE
clause without the word WHERE if qryPersonName returns multiple records.

strMsg = "Your meeting request has been approved." & (Chr(13))

Just another suggestion - use the VBA constant vbCrLf instead of Chr(13).
That's JUST a carriage return, you need both a carriage return and a linefeed.
