Please help Me !!! I need immediate help

[John Jackson]

My documenter is not working in Access 97. I need to know
how can I (through code) list all linked and static tables
in my database along with their data elements. I want to
be able to create a report for this. Below is one example
of what I want, but I want it for all tables (linked and
static). Thanks


For example,

tbl_BookCheckOUt

Patron text
Numberofbooks number
branch text
branchID text

Have a look at the built in database documentor.

John,

The code below works in Access 97 - you'll have to adjust the objects to
have it work in ADO (or set a reference back to DAO).

'Headers for each table-could make this fancier
