It is possible to do a little with VBA. For example, here is a start on creating script for a database with local tables.

Dim db As Database
Dim tdf As TableDef
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim ndx As DAO.Index
Dim strSQL As String
Dim strFlds As String
Dim strCn As String

Dim fs, f

    Set db = CurrentDb

    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fs.CreateTextFile("C:DocsSchema.txt")
    
    For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
        If Left(tdf.Name, 4) <> "Msys" Then
            strSQL = "strSQL=""CREATE TABLE [" & tdf.Name & "] ("
            
            strFlds = ""
            
            For Each fld In tdf.Fields
                
                strFlds = strFlds & ",[" & fld.Name & "] "
                
                Select Case fld.Type
                
                    Case dbText
                        'No look-up fields
                        strFlds = strFlds & "Text (" & fld.Size & ")"
                    
                    Case dbLong
                        If (fld.Attributes And dbAutoIncrField) = 0& Then
                            strFlds = strFlds & "Long"
                        Else
                            strFlds = strFlds & "Counter"
                        End If
    
                    Case dbBoolean
                        strFlds = strFlds & "YesNo"
    
                    Case dbByte
                        strFlds = strFlds & "Byte"
                        
                    Case dbInteger
                        strFlds = strFlds & "Integer"
                    
                    Case dbCurrency
                        strFlds = strFlds & "Currency"
            
                    Case dbSingle
                        strFlds = strFlds & "Single"
