Access 2013 Navigation Buttons and Quer

I'm working with a form in Access 2013 that uses the navigation buttons. I'm trying to have my criteria for a query link to a dropdown box on the form. I had no problems doing this in Access 2010 with normal forms, but I can't link the criteria, in the query to the Navigation buttons form box. I'm tried using



[Forms]![TheNavigationTab]![NavigationSubform].[Form]![Field]



And various forms of the above... but i still can't see to tell the query to find the critiera at this location... any help would be appreciated
