All the tables or just one table?
If you need just one you could try Tools | Analyze | Documentor.
That will print out the fields and a whole bunch of other information as well.
You could do all the tables as well, just be careful which options you select.
As another option I created an Access Add-In called the "John Viescas Table Documentor" that will
list each table and its field properties in an easy-to-read format. It is even easier to use than
the built-in Access Documentor and creates a slick report right in your database that you can just
open again any time right from the Database Window. You could customize the report even more to your
liking if you desire.
Once installed 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. In a nut shell the Add-In creates a new key
table in your database, loops through each table (including linked ones) grabbing the information
needed, writes all this information to the key table, creates the report entirely in code, saves it,
and then displays it on the screen for you. That report can be opened again at any time since it is
saved as a new report object in your database. Easy as pie!
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 2000, 2002, and 2003.
