Hi -
I want to soundboard this outhere; maybe someone has seen this before.
I have an MDB file. Lots of tables, lots of queries, on the order of 150+.
Not one of mine. Casing tool was not used, so no entity relationship diagrams
and no data dictionary. The tbls and qrys have many, many fields. Luck would
have it that the darn thing actually works pretty well.
Somewhere in there I have a field set to a value, let's say it's "ABC." I do
know that the value = ABC. Luck would have it, it needs to change to "DEF" -
go figure.
Question is which table or query is storing it? Unfortunately the naming
conventions are not very "self-descriptive," and everything is super-nested.
I tried using the MS Access documenter, dumping it into Adobe PDF and
keyword searching. But that did not work.
Is there anyway to find which tbl or qry stores the value, if all I know is
the value itself? For example, if I could get a massive text dump of all the
properties and contents of table and query objects, that would be awesome,
because then I can keyword search it.
I've never had this before. My stuff is usually very organized, and I'm into
case tools now, so this is a bit frustrating.
Thanks,
Pepe
