For this I use a small function and a table to store the result in. That table can be used to copy/paste or export to excel.

Just check the attachment, place the tables and the module in your database and run the function by placing the cursor in the code and pressing F5.

Here is one Method, but you'll have to clean up the Spreadsheet:

1. Tools ==> Analyze ==> Documenter
2. Select Tables Tab ==> check the Table(s) you wish to document
3. Click on the Options button
4. Select the specific Table Definitions to document ==> click OK
5. Click OK in the Documenter Dialog Box
6. Once the Object Definition Screen appears:
   1. File ==> Export ==> Save as type = Microsoft Excel (*.xls)
   2. Set Options for Save in and File name
   3. Click the Save button
7. Let me know how you make out
