I do not want to use the documenter, because I want a file that I can export
to excel, not a report format.

Hi.
If you're interested in the field names as columns in the spreadsheet, then
use a query to export an empty table, with only the column headers, to a
spreadsheet:
SELECT * INTO [Text;HDR=YES;DATABASE=C:\Data\].FieldNames.CSV
FROM MyTable
WHERE (1 = 0);
Then open the C:\Data\FieldNames.CSV file in Excel.
HTH.

hat was a great suggestion. Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't explain
fully, I apologize...
I want to have the information as if I had used the documenter, just not the
report format the documenter generates. So Field Names and the field
Properties. It would be fine to even build a table with this info so I can
export it when I want to. I am having trouble finding out how to get both
the field names and properties. Thank you.

Hi.
Use the DAO library for the Field.Name, Field.Property.Name, and
Field.Property.Value Properties. For an example, first create a query that
creates a table to hold the data:
CREATE TABLE tblColNames
(ID COUNTER (1, 1),
TableName Text (64) NOT NULL,
ColName Text (64) NOT NULL,
PropName Text (35) NOT NULL,
PropValue Text (255),
CONSTRAINT PrimaryKey PRIMARY KEY (ID),
CONSTRAINT UQ_IDX UNIQUE (TableName, ColName, PropName));
And then try the following VBA procedure:
Public Function getColNamesAndProps()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim db As Database
Dim tbl As TableDef
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim prp As DAO.Property
Dim sqlStmt As String
Dim fSkipExecute As Boolean
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each tbl In db.TableDefs
If ((Mid$(tbl.Name, 1, 4) <> "MSys") And _
(Mid$(tbl.Name, 1, 7) <> "~TMPCLP")) Then
For Each fld In tbl.Fields
For Each prp In fld.Properties
sqlStmt = "INSERT INTO tblColNames (TableName, " & _
"ColName, PropName, PropValue) " & _
"VALUES ('" & Replace(tbl.Name, "'", "''", 1, -1, _
vbDatabaseCompare) & "', '" & Replace(fld.Name,
_
"'", "''", 1, -1, vbDatabaseCompare) & "', '" &
_
prp.Name & "', '" & Replace(CStr(prp.Value),
"'", "''", _
1, -1, vbDatabaseCompare) & "');"
If (Not (fSkipExecute)) Then
db.Execute sqlStmt, dbFailOnError
Else
fSkipExecute = False ' Reset.
End If
Next prp
Next fld
End If
Next tbl
CleanUp:
Set prp = Nothing
Set fld = Nothing
Set tbl = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Exit Function
ErrHandler:
If ((Err.Number = 3219) Or (Err.Number = 3251) Or (Err.Number = 3267))
Then
Err.Clear
fSkipExecute = True
Resume Next
Else
MsgBox "Error in getColNamesAndProps( )." & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End If
Err.Clear
GoTo CleanUp
End Function
