Printing/exporting list of fields/data types from table design mode??


In Access 2000, if one goes into design mode for a particular table, one
sees a list of fields and field types and down at the bottom one can see
field size and other info about each field, one at a time.

For documentation or other purposes, can one get more convenient access to
that info, e.g., export it all to an excel spreadsheet or get a printout
or preferably electronic report listing that info?

Thanks greatly for any advice!

There is a built-in tool for documenting under:
Tools | Analyze | Documenter

If you would prefer to code your own, see:
