Microsoft Access Database Summary Report

The Summary Report provides a wonderful overview of your entire Microsoft Access database. It should be the first report you review when you are trying to understand a new database.

Easily see:

• The number and types of objects you have, and where there are errors, suggestions, and performance tips
• The complexity of your modules
• Linked table information
• Summary of table fields by data type
• Types of queries
• Number of forms and reports with and without code
• Types of table relationships
• Macro summary
• Library references
• ActiveX controls (not shown in this example)
• Import/Export specifications (Access 2007)

With this information you can understand the complexity of the database, and the external objects it uses. It's a great guide for determining the other reports you should use for more details.
