This is a bundle of
utilities that can be run against any Access database you
specify, that currently includes these 6 functions (with
more in the works):
While some of the functions are aimed
primarily for developers, others are very useful "in the
field", such as at remote client sites, especially those
that are using runtime versions of Access!
Of particular value is the Recreate
Indexes and Relationships function, which recreates
all of the indexes and relationships in a target database
using another database as a blueprint. It can be an
invaluable tool. As an example, I had a client whose
database became corrupted such that we had to send it out to a
service to be recovered. When it was returned, all the
relationships and indexes were gone. We had a backup
that didn't have current data, but did have the current
database structure (tables, relationships, and such). I
was able to recreate all the indexes and relationships on the
recovered database in just a matter of a couple of
minutes! Imagine doing this manually!
The Table Documentor is primarily for
developers. The Documentor within Access seems to give
too much or too little information. My Table
Documentor shows the important information for each
field (you can even choose how much detail), plus it shows all
the indexes on the table (both user-defined and hidden indexes
created by Access), as well as all relationships the table is
part of. Imagine being able to see all the important
information about a table in just 1 or maybe 2 pages!
