Susan, There are different editions for Visio. You will need Professional edition, it is not featured in Standard edition.
See http://www.microsoft.com/office/visio/prodinfo/editions.mspx They call the feature "Database diagrams with reverse engineering of any ODBC compliant data source" Kind regards, Michiel On 7/18/06, Susan Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
