Documenting Program Flow

[Robert D. Gordon]

Is anyone aware of a product that integrates with MS Access (using 2000)
that will allow me to document the program flow of data through a custom
developed application? Something similar to the relationship diagram
functionality, but will work with queries and other objects and allow the
introduction of connectors, decision branches, etc.

Obviously there are a lot of products out there that I can use externally,
but I'm interested in something that is integrated so I can just select on
the objects already built instead of having to start from scratch.

Thanks,

See whether Total Access Analyzer, from FMS, does what you want.

Doug,

Analyzer doesn't really do it. I have that installed and I just went back
through all of what it can generate but it doesn't allow me to really show a
program flow. It does generate an object diagram which is better than
nothing, but it isn't something I can manipulate.

I guess I'm looking for a flowchart program that will read and integrate
with/to Access. What about Visio? I haven't used it in MANY versions so
I'm not current anymore on it. Plus I think it was rather costly. I was
hoping for a simple add in app.
