Does Visio org chart update automatically when linked to data?

I am looking for a way to create an org chart with SQL or Access data. I
breifly reviewed Visio 2000 and was able to create the link to the data.
However, It appears that the org chart stills need to be mannually created
and will not change with data changes. Am I missing something?

The way I read the article is that the orgcharts are automatically
generated, so when changes have been made to the information used for
generating the orgchart, the update process of the orgchart involves
creating a new orgchart.

In the current version of Visio, changes to the orgchart are not
automatically replicated in the original information and the next generation
of the orgchart may mean direct modifications to the orgchart may be lost.
It is not possible to round trip an orgchart.
