Access 97: How to programmatically set a Form's RecordSource to a string longer than 255 characters?

I have Access 97 and need to set a Form's recordset to a string, Problem is my SQL string exceeds 255 characters, and so using

 Dim db As Database
  Dim rs As Recordset
  Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).Databases(0)   ' Create database reference.

  Dim strSQL As String
  strSQL = "SELECT InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceType" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.MainID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.OriginalShippingDate" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.ShipDate" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , Products.ProductID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , Products.ProductModelNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.UnitSerialNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.WarrantyPeriod" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , IIf([OriginalShippingDate]+([RepairsRMAInformation].[WarrantyPeriod])<=Date(),""Expired"",IIf(IsNull([OriginalShippingDate]),""Unknown"",""Active"")) AS WarrantyStatus" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , IIf([OriginalShippingDate]+([RepairsRMAInformation].[WarrantyPeriod])<=Date(),False,IIf(IsNull([OriginalShippingDate]),False,True)) AS UnderWarrantyYN" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.Technician" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , Sum(InvoiceOrderDetails.OrderAmountMGC) AS SumOfOrderAmountMGC" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "        FROM ((InvoiceOrderEntry " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "  INNER JOIN RepairsRMAInformation
  strSQL = strSQL & "          ON InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceID = RepairsRMAInformation.InvoiceID) " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "  INNER JOIN Products " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "          ON InvoiceOrderEntry.ProductModelNumber = Products.ProductModelNumber) " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "  INNER JOIN InvoiceOrderDetails " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "          ON InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceID = InvoiceOrderDetails.InvoiceID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "       WHERE (((InvoiceOrderEntry.Shipped)=True))" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "    GROUP BY InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceType" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.MainID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.OriginalShippingDate" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , InvoiceOrderEntry.ShipDate" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , Products.ProductID" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , Products.ProductModelNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.UnitSerialNumber" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.WarrantyPeriod" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , IIf([OriginalShippingDate]+([RepairsRMAInformation].[WarrantyPeriod])<=Date(),""Expired"",IIf(IsNull([OriginalShippingDate]),""Unknown"",""Active""))" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , IIf([OriginalShippingDate]+([RepairsRMAInformation].[WarrantyPeriod])<=Date(),False,IIf(IsNull([OriginalShippingDate]),False,True))" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "           , RepairsRMAInformation.Technician" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "      HAVING (((InvoiceOrderEntry.InvoiceType)=""CR"") " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "         AND ((InvoiceOrderEntry.ShipDate) Between [Forms]![RepairSummaryReport_preselect]![FromDate] " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "         AND [Forms]![RepairSummaryReport_preselect]![ToDate]) " & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "         AND ((Products.ProductID)=[Forms]![RepairSummaryReport_preselect]![ProductModelNumber]))" & vbCrLf
  strSQL = strSQL & "    ORDER BY InvoiceOrderEntry.ShipDate DESC;"

  Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges, dbOptimistic)

Me.RecordSource = strSQL

Select allOpen in new window

results in an error.
How can I set the Form's RecordSource in this case programmatically?
