Forms can quickly get very complicated with queries, code, error handling, column sizing and number, etc. How can one document all these details making future changes and trouble shooting easier.
 
Database Tools tab, click Database Documenter.
Check the box for the form.
Click the Options button to see what will be included.
Click OK a couple of times and then print.

That is really cool. My form has over 27 pages of info- it is a bit much to digest. Is there so alternative scheme for documenting?
 
You can select various options for which properties you want to document. The documenter also create a table in an MDT file that you can connect to. Check out Flexible Reporting of Documenter Results for a solution to report the table structures. You should be able to something similar with forms and reports.
