I have a table with obscure field names. So I put their descriptions in a table.

I want the control tip text to look up the field name in a table and have it display the description.

I have DLookup("Desc", "Fieldlist", "FName = 'AMACCT'")

but I cannot figure out how to reference the current field name so I can just create a function.

Something like forms!main.currentfieldname

Thanks
