Hi people
I have scanned the relevant groups and haven't seen an answer to my simple
problem. Can I change which of the database properties are shown on the
entity diagram? Specifically, can I configure it to display the 'notes
property?
I am trying to use Visio as an heuristic for building an Access database. I
therefore want to start with entity diagrams with little detail and
iteratively raise the detail and accuracy of the definitions. Some tables
are fully defined and have 30+ columns. Having to show all these does not
help my objective and does take up a lot of room. Conversely, not being able
to display the 'notes' column means that I cannot share this explanatory
information with collaborators.
I have read in various posts that Visio is pretty useless as a database
modelling tool. Can it not even display the relevant columns?
TIA
