Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Open the sample database Northwind.mdb (or NWIND.MDB in version 2.0 or earlier), and create a new form based on the Orders table.
2. Add a combo box control with the following properties:
   

         Form: PromptForm
         --------------------
         RecordSource: Orders
   
         Combo box:
            Name: TheCombo
            RowSource: Orders
            ColumnCount: 4
            BoundColumn: 1
   						

3. Save the form as PromptForm, and then close it.
4. Create the following query based on the Employees table:
   

         Query: ReferenceCombo
         ---------------------
         Type: Select Query
   
         Field: EmployeeID ([Employee ID] in Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0)
            Table: Employees
            Criteria: =[Forms]![PromptForm]![TheCombo].column(2)
         Field: LastName ([Last Name] in Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0)
            Table: Employees
         Field: FirstName ([First Name] in Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0)
            Table: Employees
   						

5. Open the PromptForm form in Form view and select an item from the combo box.
6. Open the ReferenceCombo query in Datasheet view. Note that you receive the following error message: Undefined Function '[Forms]![PromptForm]![TheCombo].column' in Expression.
