Access visual relationship guide

Access visual relationship guide

Access visual relationship guide

(OP)
I hope this is the acceptable location for this question.  My last question here had some great debates and excellent feedback.

To continue from the "Organizing Files" thread, I have decided to go the Access database route.

My question is:  Is there a software I could use to help explain the relationship between different tables and queries, to help keep things organized?  A visual handguide to how the database connects.  I could use AutoCAD, but was hoping for a tool more specific to the task.  (or better yet, an export feature from Access that I dont know about).  Thanks

 

RE: Access visual relationship guide

Are you familiar with creating relationships in Access? A visual layout tool is used to create (and document) relationships in your database. (Tools -> relationships)

Are your needs more complex than this? what exactly are you hoping to achieve?

RE: Access visual relationship guide

This was exactly what I was looking for.

I am used to creating my relationships as I go (in queries etc) This options allows you to set them up beforehand. Which may be the better way to go.

...and it has a print option.

Thank you cowski
