Simple way to document DB objects

J

This may have been asked before but I could not find it. I have an Access
2003 DB that I am getting ready to upsize to SQL 2000. What I need is a
simple way to list the objects (queries, forms, reports and so on) and the
fileds each use. I do not need properties, indexes and so on, only the object
and field names. I have tried the "documentor" wizard in every configuration
but it will not give me what I need. I found a VBA script to extract the
names of objects but am unable to get the names of the fields. I want to be
able to creat a table of objects and their fileds. I need to change some of
the field names in the tables and need a simple way to find these in the
other objects. Thanks in advance
