Hi Folks

Does anybody know how to gain access to MS Access' field
"Descriptions" using Delphi?  

In MS Access table design mode, these are the descriptions that you
type in for documentation purposes.  Access uses them as default
control descriptors in the status bar.  You can also include them in
the most verbose "documenter" mode.

Is there an ADO function that retrieves these?

Thanks in advance...
