Anyone know of any tools that can be used to automate the tracking of DB object dependencies?

We had a recent table change that was made for a front-end application update. The night the change was deployed several of our jobs failed as a result of the table change. Therefore, I'm looking for a tool that could be used to search through code (DTS, SQL, .Net, etc.) and document database dependencies. This would allow us to easily identify potential impacts of database changes.
