Apologies, I didn't realise you were looking for system tables.

The system tables in Access all start with "MSys". If you click Tools->Options and tick View System objects, some of those tables may be what you are looking for.

There is a table called MSysObjects which gives you a list of objects but to retrieve information about an particular object you will need to loop through its Fields collection (or its properties).
