printing table descriptions (ACC97)

[JustLJ]

Greetings.
I want to print out table information, like what you see when you open a table in design mode... field name, data type and the description. And truthfully I really only need the field name and the description.

The Tools|Analyzer|Documenter gives too much information (100 pages just for one of the tables I need to list) and so I'm looking for something which apparently I'm just not seeing. Oh, yes, I did try to output to Excel (a mess!) and save as a table (no way to logically link the information in a report format).

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Did you try to go into the Documentors Options and turn off things you don't need? I just tested this on one small table (ten fields), I selected pretty much just the minimum and got a one page document.

Just checking... Terry

Thanks, but the rub is that I need the description along with the column name, which is only available with the "Include for Fields" section and the selection of "Names, Data Types, Sizes and Properties", as description is a field property of the Column Name item.

I appreciate your reply!
