Query cross-reference structure

Hi,

Is there a tool to visualize the cross-links between queries in an
Access database?

At work we use some databases with lots of queries and subqueries. E.g.
a report is based on a query A that gets its input from table B and
subquery C that joins subsubquery D and E etc. This makes it very
cumbersome to find out on what data a certain report is based or what
implications changing a certain query has for other queries.

I know Visio can visualize the relations between tables in a relational
database, but I can't get it to visualize the references between
queries and tables.

Regards,
Rudy

Dear Rudy:

Access has two database engines: Jet and MSDE. You can operate the MSDE
using SQL Server Developer Edition, which is very economical. This will
provide dependencies for MSDE queries. For Jet queries, look at the tools
available from FMS.
