"Method not applicable in this context" error

I have created a .mdb file programmatically as well as thru Access 97. Inside this .mdb file I have 2 tables called "Pole" and "Pole_Summary" respectively. When the logic of my VB app tries to do anything with the "Pole_Summary" table I get an error that says "method not applicable in this context". After some investigation, I found out that the data control is trying to work with the "Pole" table instead of the "Pole_Summary" table. I think that the indexes are getting wacked. How can I be sure of this and/or fix it? Has anyone heard of this error? ("Method not applicable in this context")

Thanks
