Printing Access Table Field Descriptions

[MarkW]

Hello

Does anybody know if it is possible to print the basic structure
(Field/Type/Decsription) of an Access Table in v2003? I have a user who is
trying to work with a rather large Access table for a questionnaire and is
wanting to be able to refer to the descriptions as she enters the data, as
some of the fields are very similar. I have looked at the Documenter option
but it provides too much information and I also couldn't see the field
description field on the output.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

This will do it for you. Just import everything into your database and run
the form:

You can use the documenter and then create your own report of only what you
want using the information found at http://www.access.hookom.net/documenter/.

On the other hand, I would reconsider the table structure. There is a
complete normalized survey demo "At Your Survey" at
