Hi,
Just go to the SQL redgate tool website and download their SQL DOC tool trial version.This tool will help you to document the SQL server database.It will give you all details including object dependancies.

You need not sign up in the redgate website .Just mention your email address and pwd after which it will ask you to download the tool.

you could also use catalog views for getting this info like information_schema.columns,sys.key_constraints,sys.foreign_keys,sys.identity_columns,...
