How do I get the "statusbar text" to display in a form?

It displays on the Status Bar when the control has the focus and the Status
Bar is turned on. Where do you want to display the data on your form?

What is it you exactly want? You can place text in the description of the
table which will appear in the statusbar. This text is placed in the
statusbartext of a control. Knowing this you can manipulate it any way you
want I guess.

Hi Maurice.
Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to figure out a way to include directions
on my forms - so that the people who are providing the information know
exactly what I'm asking for. Having the field descriptions show up on the
status bar is a little too indirect, so I was hoping to figure out a way to
display the field descriptions on the form somewhere. If possible, without
having to actually type them onto the form (since I'm using tabbed folders).
I hope that makes sense. Thanks again for the help!
