Differences between functionality: Standard vs. Pro

[ghillie5150]

I develop quite a bit in Access and do a lot of process mapping. I currently
have the standard version of VISIO, but want to know if it is worth it to
upgrade to professional. I know it has the package for ERDs, which is very
helpful.
I have read that there are versions that can assist in building the
tables in Access after you have mapped them in VISIO. Is there any truth to
this?

Thanks ahead of time.

you need the visio enterprise edition that comes with visual studios to do
forward engineering, you can reverse engineer with both the ea and pro
versions.

Thanks AL. So is there any significant reason to purchase the upgrade? Are
there any extended functionalities for process diagramming between the two
versions?

Thanks

I guess it's all in what you need to do, I'd start over here
