[AccessD] DAO field - Description

Using Access97, I tried the function listed under the DAO section, and
it works.

Subject: [AccessD] DAO field - Description

When you look at a table in design view, each field has a field name, a
data
type, and a description.  I have iterated through the field properties
of a
field in a table, and the various properties I can see are:

Value;Attributes;CollatingOrder;Type;Name;OrdinalPosition;Size;SourceFie
ld;S
ourceTable;ValidateOnSet;DataUpdatable;ForeignName;DefaultValue;Validati
onRu
le;ValidationText;Required;AllowZeroLength;FieldSize;OriginalValue;Visib
leVa
lue;ColumnWidth;ColumnOrder;ColumnHidden;

I am not finding the DESCRIPTION which I REALLY need to extract for
building
a document.

Does anyone know how I get at the DESCRIPTION property of a field in a
table?
