How to pop data from a table in MS Access 2003?

why does the next statement result in an error message?

MsgBox Application.CurrentData.AllTables(tblECG).Properties.Item(1).Value

The Error: " The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist'.

error number: 2467

any other suggestions to get a specified value from a table?
