I'm using visio to document/model a database. I need the entity shape in the diagram to display not only the name of a column and it's datatype but also the information in the "notes" column of the database properties window. I can make the entity shape display all of the column attributes except "notes". Is there any way to display the notes too? Thanks, Jim

The solution manages the data, it is not part of the shape, except through the modeling features. \par \par Barb Way \par Product Support - Visio \par Microsoft Corporation \par This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. \par }
I'm sorry Barb but if you use Visio for enterprise architect there are a lot of reports and you can print the notes "DataBase=>Report=>Table report". Show you in a couple of week at the conference.
