MS Access Open recordset does not handle dashes

Why does MS Access handle Set rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("qsReindeeers"), but it does not handle Set rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("qs-Reindeeers")

I get too few parameters error...

How can I get MS Access to play nice with dashes ?

Actually the name is not the issue..I have 2 parameters within the query that properly reference the main and sub form, thus I am confused on why it does not work... The code is called from within the main form/private sub via a command button
