>>Markus makes a good arguement in his book that the round-trip code capabilities in VM/Rose are something you should seriously consider. The new VM/Rose modeling wizards really have helped with this. I've played with VM a little and would really like to use Rose, but can't afford. I'll be using VM in the future.

>I'm gonna show my ignorance here...an earlier version of VM I tried to load demanded that VB be installed on my machine. Is that still the case? Is VM only available on the VS Enterprise Edition, or is it available separately? I'm still using the old pen-and-ink approach.

You do not need VB on your machine. AFAIK, it's only available with VS Enterprise. However, I think it is worth the cost when you look at everything you get.
