Hi,

This may be asking far too much and I strongly suspect a single, simple answer won't be forthcoming but I thought I'd put my wish-list here and see what sort of response I get. I need to document dozens of Access databases held on a shared drive, and what I'd like is some sort of tool (VBA-driven perhaps?) that I can point at the root of it and uncover the following info about every Access database it finds - here's that wish-list:

- Full file name
- Full path
- Name of each table in db
- Name of each field in each table

- Data Type of each field
- Description of each field (where one's been given, obviously)
- DB creator's name
- DB created date/time
- DB last modified by name
- Last Modified date/time

The first four are the minimum I'd like to get to, but it would be great to get the rest. Any pointers?

Many thanks in advance.

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Thanks for the quick response. It certainly looks like it will cover an awful lot, so I'll have a look in to that.

Thanks! :)
