Organization Chart from Access?

[Lostguy]

Hello,

I have been Googling like crazy , and can't seem to find a way to make
an organizational chart from Access. I downloaded and installed
Microsoft Organization Chart 2.0, but I can't find how to use it.

I have all the data in my Employee table, but I can't figure out how
to get it to come together in a organization chart look.

Anyone know of a way that this can be done?

Hello.

I checked MS Access's help file and couldn't find anything about
organizational charts.

AFA MS Organization Chart 2.0, I downloaded it (msoc2.exe) and
installed it, but it never asks for a directory of where you wanted
the install. I searched my hard drive for "organization" and all I
found is the inf file. So, I installed it but don't know where it
installed to or even how to start it. What I found on MS says where to
get it and what it does, but nothing on how to use or access it.

Tom, where would I find that help file??

To access it in access after installing it, (use powerpoint setup option to
install the control, not selected by default) then on a form in access
insert unbound object and scroll to the bottom of the list for
organizational chart addin. I haven't used it for years and it hasn't been
updated significantly since Office 97. Might read below links for more
details.

Thanks Pete! That's the part I needed. But when I looked and it and
read over its help file, you have to type the employee's name in each
block. Doesn't seem to be a way to link it to the tables so that it
can pull data from there.

If anyone else has a way to pull the data from Access 2003 to make
organization charts, keep me in mind.

Thanks!

All,

Found this post:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/BSRKOrganizationChart.aspx?msg=2834619#xx2834619xx
(Generate an Organization Chart from Employee Database)

which has a zipped file consisting of an Access databse, an Excel
spreadsheet, and 2 .asp files. Can't get it to work for me, but it
looks like the direction I was looking for.
