I want to export my table structures into a list, but i need to see the description details as well.
Anyone ???
In order to obtain comprehensive documentation on a Table and its Fields, take these steps in sequence: - Tools
- Analyze
- Documenter
- Tables Tab
- Select Table(s)
- Options
- Select Include Options
- OK
- OK

Sorry, but I can't help you there. I'm not sure if Access 2007 has the same Documenter functionality. You could always, of course, write code to accomplish pretty much the same thing.
I wasnt aware that you could view that from within Access itself

Yes, RobH - it can be done via VBA. I've written some simple code that will write the Properties of the Employees Table in Northwind.mdb, list all the Fields in the Employees Table along with their Properties and associated Values, to a file named Table Structure.txt in C:\. This code can be modified to include all Tables as well.

DoCmd.Hourglass True - Open "C:\Table Structure.txt" For Output As #1

Dim db As DAO.Database

Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef

Dim prp As DAO.Property, fldprp As DAO.Property

Dim fld As DAO.Field

Set db = CurrentDb()

Set tdf = db.TableDefs("Employees")

Thanks a million, Scott! There's nothing quite like taking the time to arrive at a viable solution to a problem, then being unable to Post it. I'll make sure Mary gives you both a Save and an Assist on this one. (LOL). Thanks again - I'm known as the 'Man of Few Words' but this was ridiculous.

Nothing quite so frustrating!! I've had it happen to me before without warning... Still not sure why it happens each time, but I think this one was just length.

I did ask Mary regarding this matter and her response is listed below. http://www.thescripts.com/forum/priv...wpm&pmid=45464
Thanks for the detail.. But... I was actually wanting something much simpler -
Something that would out put more like,
Field Name, Type, Description
EID, Number, Employee Staff ID Number
SD,Date, Employee Start Date
Something that gives me an easy ready reference to my table structures

The code I gave you is comprehensive, and covers a lot of area. What exactly are you looking for, Table Names along with Field Names, their Types and Descriptions? The code previously listed can easily be reduced to provide that information.
