[AccessD] Form Field Renaming Itself

I tried that but it still wouldn't work.

But in testing I found that the change was reflecting an alias that I 
had in another combo box that was being used to select the record for 
the main screen.  That is, I had another combo which had the same 
table source as the form source.  When a record is selected in the 
combo box then the main form was filtered to only show the same 
record.  The OrderDate field in the combo box had an alias of "Date" 
for the combo header.  When I removed the field alias in the filter 
box then the problem stopped.  It meant that I also hid the column 
headers for the combo box to keep things tidy.  This didn't answer 
why the combo box should affect a field property but at least I have 
solved the problem.
