MS has made many, many $millions selling Access as part of Office Pro.
There's no excuse for it not to have a better ER diagramming component, so
that when you talk to clients or work with other IT people you have
something more than the amateurish model currently produced.
Those interested should send a request to su*****@microsoft.com and ask them
to include some of the Visio ER diagramming features in Access (download
189mb Visio trial at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/visi...nfo/trial.mspx)
It shouldn't be a big job for them to integrate the Visio code into Access -
they already own it.
I'd like to see:
1) a fit to screen option
2) options for straight and right-angle connectors
3) a separate column to show primary keys, foreign keys and indexes
4) option to show datatype and size
Thanks
