| Well if you look around in there, you should be able to create a db model quiet nicely....I haven't looked at 2003, but you might need the pro edition...I think it'll even gen the ddl for you....Brett8-) |

| You need the Enterprise Architect version of Visio in order to generate the DDL. Found that out last week. I had the Professional edition installed, but then found out I needed Enterprise Architect if I wanted it to generate the DDL. You can't get Enterprise Architect by itself though. It comes with VS .NET 2003.Tara |
