Inserting expression into a query

Hi

I am using a form field as criteria in a query like this
[Forms]![MyForm]![MyField]. This works fine if the field has a single value
like "value1" but if the field has an expression as a value like "value1 or
value2" then the query returns nothing. Is there a way to insert the literal
value of the field "value1 or value2" into the query? I want to do it in a
way that I can change this expression at runtime.

Thanks

Regards
