Document the summary information of an Access file or page

1. With the Microsoft Access file open, click Database Properties on the File menu.
2. Click the Summary tab, and then specify as much of the requested information as you want to.
3. Click OK.

Note  For each item you complete on the Summary tab, the associated properties are automatically set.

1. Open the data access page in Design view or Page view. If it is a new page that hasn't been saved yet, click Save on the File menu.
2. On the File menu, click Page Properties.
3. Set properties as needed on the following tabs.
   • General    This is the same information that is displayed when you right-click the name of a file in Microsoft Windows Explorer and then click Properties on the shortcut menu. The only difference is that when you view these properties in Microsoft Access, the Attributes settings are read-only.
   • Summary    The information that you enter on this tab is added to the SummaryInfo Document object in the Documents collection. This information is similar to the summary information that you can provide in other Microsoft Office applications. Summary information allows you to better identify a page both from within Microsoft Access and from other programs such as the Microsoft Windows Find Files program. The Hyperlink Base setting on the Summary tab is used to create the base hyperlink path that is appended to the beginning of relative HyperlinkAddress property settings.
   • Statistics    This information includes the date and time that the active page was created, the last date and time it was modified, who modified it, the number of times it's been revised, and the total editing time.
   • Contents    This information includes the title and the connection string.
   • Custom    The custom properties that you enter become properties of the UserDefined Document object in the Documents collection.
