Now I want to export table names. However, under my Database menu I don't have all the same menu options. I have:<br />- Reverse Engineer<br />- Show Related Tables<br />----------<br />- Refresh Model<br />----------<br />- View -><br />- Import -><br />----------<br />- User defined types<br />- Options -><br /><br />I have Reports under Data, but it still isn't the same as shown above. And I've run out of other ideas to get my table/column data.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04926081160382833720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393051114813114443.post-8160296524009929332011-06-03T08:47:24.264-05:002011-06-03T08:47:24.264-05:00Thansk Alexei, you saved me retyping LOTS of datab...Thansk Alexei, you saved me retyping LOTS of database column names with your suggestion for Visio 2007 Professional.

It doesn't work all that well though so ultimately you'll have to organize it manually anyway.

I don't use Visio 2007 because sadly it doesn't support forward or reverse engineering. There is a lot of frustration over Microsoft's apparent abandoning of this functionality.

Now I would like to modularize the entities, for example by manually adding a table to the page, selecting it and using menu item "Show related tables". Okay this works so far.. but.. the related tables are all added at one spot on the page one upon the other.<br />Is it possible to adjust them automatically the best way??<br />And one more question: You seem to have also some modularized entities at your page, summarized by the background color. How are you doing this??<br />Regards,<br />Nicole StabeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393051114813114443.post-4577257313973555052007-11-07T21:43:00.000-05:002007-11-07T21:43:00.000-05:00Well, I think it depends on which version of Visio...Well, I think it depends on which version of Visio 2007. The forward engineering and other features only come with the Team System version of Visio. I would have to imagine they still have some kind of reporting, but I haven't evaluated the full version of Visio 2007.Lee Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01314803491511307042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393051114813114443.post-22453344011556692012007-09-26T11:47:00.000-05:002007-09-26T11:47:00.000-05:00I do not think this feature is available anymore u...I do not think this feature is available anymore under Visio 2007.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
