[AccessD] Access Database Documenter & Word Ctrl-F with browseresults

William,

Thanks for posting this info.

I have a lot less experience with Access than most of the others who use
the AccessD forum.

In fact, I had never even experimented with exporting from the Database
Documenter to Word, until I read your post.

This will really work nicely, especially with dual monitors.

Thanks again,
Brad

Subject: [AccessD] Access Database Documenter & Word Ctrl-F with
browseresults

I have recently seen something in Access and Word which I found handy. I
have always known about the Database Documenter now under Database
Tools; I set it for let's say all tables, and show nothing but field
names & properties. Then run and export to Word. Well what I did not
know is that there is an easy way to jump between tables once the output
is complete. Simply type Ctrl-F and search for "Table:" and then the
Navigation pane (for once not a "pain") appears, I clicked the right
right-most view which has tooltip "Browse the results..." - and there is
an easy way to click each table one after the other, with the names
right there.

Having this open as an app I can alt-tab to has very much improved my
ability to focus on what I am doing in Access because I don't have to
leave one object in Access to go inspect another.

I know, I know ... just now finding out what everyone else under the sun
already knew. I have to run faster and faster just to stay in place.
