Question : Opening a form with a subform produces error:

Hello,

I have a SubForm embedded in a form. When I open the form, I want to set the RecordSource property of the SubForm. I do so with this code:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim dbs As Database

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Me!subLPMSummary.Form.RecordSource = dbs.QueryDefs("qryLPMSummary").SQL
End Sub

When I open the form the code breaks at Me!subLPMSummary.Form.RecordSource and produces the error: Run-time error 2467: . The object does exist in the navigation pane and the name of the object seems to be correct. Any ideas what may be causing this error?
