We want to create a complete map or schematic diagram of our database
showing connections between...
Forms, Command Buttons, Queries, Tables, etc Like
frmMenu -->cmdOrders -->: frmOrders --> qryOrders --> tblOrders
frmMenu -->cmdAccounts ---->frmAccts (subFormPeople)
...frmAccts -->qryAccts-->tblAccts
...subFormPeople-->qryPeople--tblPeople
Of course it gets much more complicated to "draw" all the
"connections" is as some queries are used by more than one form and
some forms are used by more than one cmdButton, etc. The
interconnections can make the "schematic" of the database complicated.
This helps as during the design process you may end up with unused
queries and forms, etc.
right now we are doing it by hand... drawing it in PowerPoint... each
table, query & form in a box... with arrows showing dependencies.
Right clicking and asking for dependances forces us to do each object
one at a time... is there a tool to map the whole darn thing?
thanks for any help.
