To Andy's point I agree that SQL may have tools that can help you out. In my case though and I did not spell it out in the article but I took a FoxPro database, reverse engineered it and then output it in Access and then SQL. Visio worked great in this case with the only caveat being I had to be careful with data types.

The other solution could have been to upsize to SQL and then try what you suggested although I am not familiar with those tools at all.

Maybe that would be a good topic for another article. 🙂 Thanks for the feedback!
