Database reports in Visio Pro 2007

[garym]

I used to generate database reports in Visio Pro 2000 but I can't find the
functionality in Visio Pro 2007. Have they moved or removed it???

It is to be found in VIsio Enterprise Architect, which is only available
with Visual Studio 2005 Team Editions (I believe).
Unfortunately, the Visio version is 2003 still.
You can use them both on the same PC, with caveats.

Are you referring to the ability to forward engineer a database or the
ability to get a report of the contents of the Visio diagram? Forward
engineering is a feature of Visio Enterprise Architect as David says. The
reporting feature can be found under the Data menu in Visio 2007.

This reporting feature seems to report only on the current diagram. It is
vastly inferior to the reporting feature that was previously available.

There is no change between the Reports feature in Visio 2007 versus previous
versions except that it lives in the Data menu instead of the Tools menu.

Mark,
I think he is referring to the specific database model reports which are
only now in Visio EA
