Access a subform in a query

What is the sysntax to refer to a subform in the conditions statement of a
query I tried the following

[forms]![orders]![subform].[orderdetail]![pricetable]

but that doesn't work

thanks

There's a great explanation of Form/Subform Referencing on
www.mvps.org/access

I'm not sure that you can reference a subform's controls in a query. As I
recall the expression service won't handle this.

I believe that what I have done in the past (long ago and far away) was to add
a control to the main form (visible = no) and either set the value of the main
form control from the subform or reference the sub-form control as the source
of the main form control.

All of this is based on my notably faulty memory.
