Why can't my macro find an object?

[Guest]

When I use the SetValue action in any macro, I get a message that Access
can't find the object that contains the control I want to mess with. It says
this even when I choose the object/control from the menu in the expression
builder.

If I change the action to OpenForm and use the same form, it will open it
with no problems. If I add a set value action after this for a control on
the form, it says that it can't find the control.

What the heck is going on?

Have the macro open the form first.

I'm having the same problem and I do have the macro open the form first.

"Microsoft Office Access cannot find the name 'QueryName' you entered in the
expression.
You have have specified a control that wasn't on the current object without
specifying the correct form or report context."

Are you trying to SetValue of a query field?
