Hi Joel,

Yuk! I use Toad Data Modeller for my reverse engineering and while it
does a grand job, the diagram for the ERD is usually diabolical - and
understandably so. However, I've never had the time or patience to
untangle it manually - I usually generate the full report in HTML and
omit the ERD.

That way, I can click on links willy nilly to see what's connected to
what. It's not perfect, but better than not having any docs at all.
(Vendors!)

You have my sincere admiration for your patience in sticking with it for
two days!


Cheers,
Norm.
