Control displays "Form View" in status bar instead of description.

I have a ComboBox on a form that displays "Form View" in the status
bar instead of what's typed in the description column for the field
that serves as the ComboBox's control source when it has the focus.
All other controls, including a different ComboBox, display it's
control source's description in the status bar, but only the one
ComboBox displays "Form View".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Open your form in design view.
Right-click the combo and choose Properties
On the Other tab of the Properties box, set the StatusBarText property.

When you create the form, Access does copy the Description from the field
into the StatusBarText of the text box. But if you add the Description later
in table design, you will need to add the text box property manually.
