{!Contact.AccountId} not available in s-control?

All,

I cant seem to reference Contact.AccountId as a merge field in a s-control.  When I do I get the errror:  "Field Contact.AccountId does not exist. Check spelling."

I also noticed that it isnt available from the merge field insert dropdown although I can definately see this field in Apex Explorer. 

I am basically trying to use it in a query like so:

Code:
qry += "AND Account__c = '{!Contact.AccountId}' AND Account__c <> null    ";

 


Any help is appreciated.

As long as you are accessing the sControl from either the Account detail or Contact detail you should be able to use the merge field for the Account Id directly {!Account.Id}.

Thanks Greg.

I feel like a bit if a dufas since your explanation made me realize there was a basic concept around merge fileds that had not snapped.  The light bulb is just went from dim to bright so I must go re-write some s-controls now...

Thanks again and enjoy the holidays!
