Open your form in design view.
Right-click the combo and choose Properties
On the Other tab of the Properties box, set the StatusBarText property.

When you create the form, Access does copy the Description from the field
into the StatusBarText of the text box. But if you add the Description later
in table design, you will need to add the text box property manually.
