>Evan I know this is an old post, but I just tried your suggestion. I am trying to document my VFP database using Visio. The strange thing is I followed your directions the first time and it created a set of tables with Relations and all. It worked somewhat well. Then I noticed one of my tables was missing a relationship. So I modified the VFP Database and added the relationship. I went back to visio and asked to create a new Database and tried to reverse engineer the VFP database again. Visio gave me the usually choses and I went through again asking for OleDb to the VFP DBC. The wizard pulled up the tables and I selected all as I did before. Now when I press OK, Visio goes off into lala land. Visio is still present and I can ALT to get to its menu, but the bell chimes if I try to do anything. I have rebooted and shutdown thinking there was some process running, but that did not work. Now I cannot get OLEBD to do anything.

Sorry Brett. I only use Visio once per year or so.
