I want to run the "Reverse Engineer" wizard in Visio 2003 against a database
in SQL Server 2005. I know the DSN works because I use it all the time to
pull MS Queries via Excel. However, when I follow the wizard and get to the
point where it tries to connect, I get the message: "The currently selected
Visio driver is not compatible with the data source. I've Googled it, I've
searched all over microsoft.com and all I come up with are articles that
appear to be pasted from the Visio help file on how to go through the "RE"
wizard. I haven't found one article that says "download this patch, or
download this driver". Anyone got any ideas?

The correct driver is shipped with vs2005 EA and is implemented in v2005 EA

However, you may use Generic OLE DB Provider, and then select
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers, it can successfully interpret
tables
with from SQL Server 2005.
