Is there a way to have the Descriptions for each item in a table...

display on the Status Line or somewhere on a form...

When you click into a field on the Form ?

Thanks for any help.
 
Set appropriate text in the Property "Status Bar Text" (Status line) and /
or "Control Tip Text" (near the Control with light yellow background).

Both of the above Properties are in the "Other" tab of the Control's
Properties window.
 
If by Item you mean field, then yes. In the Design View of the table, put
text in the Description field, and this will be displayed on the status bar.

So, use with caution. Don't put "My stupid boss wants this stupid field
because he's an idiot."
