Fighting with a summary field, again

Summary fields do not seem to be my thing.  I'll start with the desired result then share what I have tried.  I need to create a field that will contain all of the status for all of the orders associated to a quote.  Each order has an order number and a portion of the order number is the quote number.  The quote number is also a field in the table.  My first attempt was to create a field that would extract the quote number from the order number, create a combined text field on the status field where the quote number is equal to the value in the field I created to extract the quote number from the order number.  This method returned the status for each order but not a combination of all of the statuses for the orders associated to the quote.  

Where did I go wrong?

I'm assuming that Quote is the parent table of orders. In that case, if you navigate to the relationship and create a Summary Field - select combined text, and choose the Statys, that should give you a text string separated by semi colons of all your status'.
