How do you comment an MS-access Query?

Question

How does one add a comment to an MS Access Query, to provide a description of what it does?

Once added, how can one retrieve such comments programmatically?

Answer 1

I know this question is very old, but I would like to add a few points, strangely omitted:

1. you can right-click the query in the container, and click properties, and fill that with your description. The text you input that way is also accessible in design view, in the Descrption property
2. Each field can be documented as well. Just make sure the properties window is open, then click the query field you want to document, and fill the Description (just above the too little known Format property)

It's a bit sad that no product (I know of) documents these query fields descriptions and expressions.
