hello all!

does anyone, or has anyone, used a data modeling tool for Access 2007
database design?
i need to design a pretty complex database, and we need to use Access 2007.
it would be most helpful to use a modeling tool for inital design, and for
documentation purposes, etc... all the good reasons one uses a modeling
tool!!

thanks in advance for any speedy answers, of course i am on a deadline! :)

Take a look at the array of tools offered by FMS Inc: www.fmsinc.com

May not be exactly what you have in mind but they have a LOT of neat stuff.

Have you ever used Visio?

I have not used Visio. Being only an Access hobbyist the cost is not
justifiable. The downside of Dezign is that it only supports what the
Access interface supports, that is, it does not support Jet 4.0. I believe
that is a true description.
