Error 3265. Item not found in this collection

I have a query with a parameter that references a form; I
need to update the underlying table on which the query is
based and have been trying to create some code to do so.

First of all I got an error 'Too few parameters. Expected
1' which is apparently caused because the query references
a form. I modified the query temporarily so that it
didn't reference the form and it worked but that is not an
acceptable solution so I have modified my code as below
but I now get an error 'Item not found in this collection'

Sub Test()

Dim dbsA As Database, rstA As Recordset, qdfA As QueryDef

Set dbsA = CurrentDb
Set qdfA = dbsA.QueryDefs("Pricing Test")
qdfA![Forms]![Pricing Screen]![Site_id] = [Forms]![Pricing
Screen]![Site_id]
Set rstA = dbsA.OpenRecordset("Pricing Test",
dbOpenDynaset)

End Sub

Any help appreciated.

That's not the cause of that error. The cause is, you SQL statement had a
syntax error. In changing the statement, you removed the source of error.

Set dbsA = CurrentDb Fine.

Set qdfA = dbsA.QueryDefs("Pricing Test") Fine.

qdfA![Forms]![Pricing Screen]![Site_id] = [Forms]![Pricing

No. The only format that looks like: qdfA![xxx] = ..., is where the
specified querydef deines a parameter called "xxx", and you are assigning a
value to that parameter. Check online help for the PARAMETER(S?) statement.
Set rstA = dbsA.OpenRecordset("Pricing Test", dbOpenDynaset)

That's ok - but it is nothing to do with the querydef! (So it will work, or
not work, regardless of qdfA).

If you want to open a recordset for the actual data returned by the
querydef:

set rstA = qdfA.openrecordset

I meant:

The only format that looks like qdfA dot anything is:

qdfA.Parameters![xxx] = ...,

This is where ...
