List Database Objects

I am using Access 2002.

Is there a technique to produce a report listing all the tables, forms, queries, reports, etc.?

Here's a link to Stephen Leban's website that contains an example of how to do this for the tables in a database: http://www.lebans.com/listtablesinmdb.htm

This should point you in the right direction for the other items as well.

Regards,

Here is basic code which will accomplish what you are requesting. Simply call the Function with the appropriate Parameter:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Public Function GetObjectList(ByVal lngType As AcObjectType) As Variant
  2.     ' Returns an array of object names.
  3.  
  4.     ' Parameters:
  5.     '   intType -- one of acTable, acQuery, acForm,
  6.     '              acReport, acDataAccessPage, acMacro or acModule
  7.  
  8. Dim intI As Integer
  9. Dim strName As String
  10. Dim astrOutput() As String
  11. Dim objCollection As Object
  12. Dim aob As AccessObject
  13.  
  14. Select Case lngType
  15. Case acTable
  16.   Set objCollection = CurrentData.AllTables
  17. Case acQuery
  18.   Set objCollection = CurrentData.AllQueries
  19. Case acForm
  20.   Set objCollection = CurrentProject.AllForms
  21. Case acReport
  22.   Set objCollection = CurrentProject.AllReports
  23. Case acDataAccessPage
  24.   Set objCollection = CurrentProject.AllDataAccessPages
  25. Case acMacro
  26.   Set objCollection = CurrentProject.AllMacros
  27. Case acModule
  28.   Set objCollection = CurrentProject.AllModules
  29. End Select
  30.  
  31. intI = 0
  32.  
  33. For Each aob In objCollection
  34.   strName = aob.Name
  35.   intI = intI + 1
  36.   ReDim Preserve astrOutput(1 To intI)
  37.   astrOutput(intI) = strName
  38. Next aob
  39.  
  40. GetObjectList = astrOutput
  41. End Function
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub Command6_Click()
  2. 'Given the Object type to enumerate, this Function creates a
  3. 'list of Object names and returns that string. To return just specific Objects:
  4. Dim varList, T As Integer
  5.  
  6. 'one of acTable, acQuery, acForm,
  7. 'acReport, acDataAccessPage, acMacro or acModule
  8.  
  9. varList = GetObjectList(acForm)   'Returns all Forms
  10.  
  11. For T = 1 To UBound(varList)
  12.   Debug.Print varList(T)
  13. Next T
  14. End Sub
OUTPUT:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. subfChild
  2. Switchboard
  3. frmEmployees
  4. frmContinuous
  5. Main Form

You can also go to Tools/Analyze/Documenter from within access.
