How do I print the details view

When viewing the database objects screen, I can click on view/details and
see a list of my queries, their description, creation date ... etc.

How can I print the inormation shown in this view?

I have been using Print-screen but that gives me a bitmap. I want a real
printout or list to export.

Try the Menu Tools /Analyze / Documenter ...

There is an "Options..." in the Dialog. Select only what you need.

Hi David,

In addition to Van's excellent advice,
these are available through the QueryDef
collection.

For example, start a new Module.
Save it as "modUtilities"
Go into Tools/References and make sure DAO library
is selected.
Copy and paste the following code into the module.
Click on "Save"
Run Debug/Compile... to make sure code okay
(there may be word wrapping).

Then, in Immediate Window type in

?flistqueries("C:\queries.txt")

and hit Enter key.

This will save "everything you wanted to know"
about *all* queries in your db in C:\queries.txt.

Queries beginning with a "~sq_c" come from
forms (and controls) or reports.

You could add some code to ignore these.

You could also comment out all code lines
for values you don't want to see in text file.

You also could create a table to hold these
values and, instead of writing to text file, save
them to the table.

Note: property "Updateable" is *not* the same
as "This query is updateable, i.e, can open it
and edit field values."

Good luck,

Gary Walter

This works great. I can adapt.
