This is from the Help file to Access 2000:

Remarks

An object's description is displayed in the Description column in the Details view of the Database window.

If you create controls by dragging a field from the field list, Microsoft Access copies the field's Description property to the control's StatusBarText property.

Note For a linked table, Microsoft Access displays the connection information in the Description property.


So, I guess, you can use field.statusbartext property. Sounds like a kludge, may be somebody knows a better approach...
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
