All
I'm trying to produce some system documentation for one of my databases, and I'm struggling to find out how I can get Access to export (or even print) basic manifest information for the tables. For example, when you open a table in Design View, I'd like to be able to bulk-export at least the basic information such as 'Field Name', 'Data Type' and 'Description'.
Tell me I don't have to work through a database of fifty-odd tables and write a manifest manually in Word, when some of the bigger tables contain 40+ fields? I'd be doing it for the next week. How could Microsoft have missed this fundamental need, or am I being thick and the facility to do it is right under my nose?
Version of Access in question is MS Office 2010.
Thanks
John
