How to obtain an Access database schema?

J

Jeffery Tyree

I have just been handed an Access switchboard application to support with no
documentation. My experience with Access is minimal. What is the best
method to print out a copy of the database schema? I see how to view the
information within Access but I don't see a way of printing it out. Is this
even possible within Access or should I use external tools; Visual Studio
Server Explorer or other?

TIA,
-Jeff

if you use ACCESS DATA PROJECTS you get a lot more functionality for
this type of activity.

you can have diagrams-- multiple diagrams for the schema. it's quite
beautiful

FYI, MS released an Add-in for 97 that allows printing the relationships
view:
ACC97: Print Relationship Wizard Available in Download Center:

And Lebans created one at my request when I ran out of space on the
Print Relationship Wizard. Currently at 4' x 3' and requires a
plotter to print it.

I remember you mentioning this when we were at the Summit, but
I did not realize Stephen had made something special for you.
Nice to have friends like that!
