How to Use the Database Documenter in Microsoft Access to Discover Hidden Object Dependencies

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to use the Database Documenter to uncover hidden object dependencies that standard tool might miss. We'll learn how to generate detailed reports on your database's objects and see why exporting to a text file might not always be the best option.

In my previous video, I showed you how to use the Object Dependencies tool in Microsoft Access to figure out which queries are safe to delete if they aren't being used anywhere. However, if the query is used in a function in one of your forms or reports, it might not show up in the Object Dependencies tool. So today, I'm going to show you how to discover those hidden dependencies using the Database Documenter.
