descriptions for my label fields

I've created a table in access and added descriptions for several fields.
I'd like to be able to use the form wizard to create a form that used the
descriptions rather than the field names. Is there a way to do this using
the form wizard or using design mode?

Thanks Art
 
do you mean use a different caption for each bound control in the form,
rather than the default field name? for example, for a field in the table
named ProdID, you'd like to see the control in the form labelled as "Product
ID"?

if so, you can set each field's caption at the table level. open the table
in design view. each field has a property called Caption. enter whatever
text you want, and the form wizards will put that value in the label of the
corresponding bound control in the form.
