Hi Tony,
I created an Access Add-In called the "John Viescas Table Documentor"
that does exactly this. It is even easier to use than the built-in Access
Documentor and creates a slick report that will list each table (including
linked ones) and their field properties in an easy-to-read format. I recently
finished Version 2.0 of the add-in. This version even works on MDE files.
Once installed (takes less than a minute) all you have to do is
Tools | Add-Ins | John Viescas Table Documentor. Poof!
After a few seconds a slick report is displayed on the screen. Easy as pie!
The report will list each field's Name, Description, Type, Length, and
which field(s) is the Primary Key. Once on the screen you can simply
hit the Word Office Links button on the toolbar and an RTF report
will be instantly created. The RTF report looks exactly the same except
for the lack of some separation lines.
I am awaiting word back from John about the possibility of having him post
it on his web site where anyone can download it. In the meantime, I do not
believe he would have a problem if I sent you a copy. If you do wish to have
a copy please let me know where you would like it sent to (please mung the
e-mail address so you won't get spammed!). There is one version for Access
97 and one for 2000 which works with Access 2000, 2002, and 2003.
I will need to know which version you need.
