Fastest way of gaining an overview of an Access 2003 database

Is there a way of producing a report of some sorts about all the forms, tables, vb code etc in an Access database? I need to understand how a database that I have taken over works quickly.

Thanks both of you. Total Access Analyzer looks good LSMC, but like you say an investment.
F&R does a nice XRef ... but not a full blown Analyzer.  However, if you are going to work with Access ... you *will* need it.  Rarely a day goes by that I don't use it.

Anybody know of a discount code :-)
Never seen one for the FMS stuff. It's worth the money, especially if you do a lot of "rescue" work.

Yes: Tools>>Analyze>>Documentator

Of course, you git what you pay for :-)

Thanks. I'll go for Rick's F&R for now and FMS' Total Access Analyzer when I get rich.
