Default MS Access 2007: Calculated field based on subform:

Hello:

As part of a review assignment, I have been tasked with adding a calculated
field to a form that will count the number of items listed in the associated
subform. The subform is based on the table "tblProduct", and is a subform
named "frmProductSubform". The Parent table is named "tblCompany".

The tables are related by ProductID, and CustomerID fields. The fields
included in the subform a ProductID, ProductType, Price, and Unit.

I am trying to create a calculated field based on the subform that will
count the number of line items in the subform for the Parent table Customer
record. I have added a text field to the Parent table's detail section named
"Number of Products", and attempted to build an expression
"=Count([ProductID])" to count the records in the related subform, but all I
get is "error".

What am I missing here?
