    Does anyone know a good way to find the last qry that updated a table?

    I've inherited a rather large Access DB with many tables,forms, reports, and queries. I need to duplicate a process, but I'm having trouble finding the update qry that creates new records in a table.

    I could write my own, but I am trying to create an exact duplicate so I'd really like to see the code that creates the new records for a specific table.

    Can anyone recommend a good 3rd party documenter?

    I 2nd Hitechcoach's recommendation. I've used the FMS Analyzer in the past. Be aware though that it does make changes to your application (for documenting things - not anything that would affect the coding itself) but you can retrieve documentation on pretty much anything regarding queries, code, forms, etc...

    Thanks for the kind words about our Total Access Analyzer product.

    Here's a paper I recently wrote on Taking Over Inherited Microsoft Access Databases. It includes a PowerPoint presentation in addition to the paper.

    Hope this helps.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
