View a control's name

[Kruppy]

In 2003 the control name was always visible when I clicked on the control.
Now In 2007 I don't see the control name. I can find it but is there a way to
have it show all the time ?

In form design view, each control shows its Control Source, which may or may
not be the same as the Name of the control.

This still happens in Access 2007 and 2010 if you are in *design* view (not
layout view.)

To see the Name of the control, right click and open Properties. The name
appears at the top of the Properties box, and also beside Name on the Other
tab of the properties box.
