I'm just coming back to SQL Server after several years of being away, so I hope this question isn't too simple.

We are converting a legacy app to a purchased SQL Server app and I will be the one transforming the data. I need a document/report/display that shows me the tables in the "to" database and lists the fields in each table, similar to what MS Access' Database Documentor does. If there isn't any such tool, what about a query that would get me close?

Thanks! The results are a little messy, but managable, and certainly better than what I had.

FYI to others, select "output to file" and then import into something more useful with Excel, Access, etc.
