Professional vs. Standard

[Derek]

I am looking to use Visio to aid in UML diagramming - does this feature come
with standard - I couldn't tell from the comparison on the MS Office site.

Thanks,
Derek

UML diagramming is part of Visio Professional. However, if you want to
generate code from UML diagram models, you need Visual Studio Enterprise
Architect.

Hi guys,
I created the database disagram in Visio Pro 2003 and i cant turn it into
code to generate the database in Access or SQL or any other database for that
matter. Do i have the wrong version or am i doing something wrong?

thanks for your help

Visio Professional allow you to go from code to model but not model to code.
Visual Studio Enterprise Architect comes with a version of Visio that
supports model to code.

It would be on the Database menu. I don't have the product in front of me
for the exact name.

I am a beginner, so i opened a new application project and added a fake

it didnt give me the option to take a Visio desgin and turn it into a
database.

your help is much apprecaited.
