> What tool do you use if > any? Marcel, I did use S-Designor from Powersoft. I did use Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems (early versions). I don't use any these days because customers pay me for working in "cowboy programmer" mode... If it will be needed I'd go with making all the specs including data modelling and UML use cases and other UML diagrams by using Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems - it's good and powerful enough IMO and it keeps metadata in MS Access databases so it's always possible to use its metadata for some custom specification docs/reports... And I like that the level of discussions in Sparx Systems Forum is very high: http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=UMLPRO... - I like to read what I understand only partially :) Shamil ----- Original Message ----- From: <marcel.vreuls at achmea.nl> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 5:38 PM Subject: re:[AccessD] Tools to help the development proces > > > Shamil, > > thanks, I will download an evaluation copy tonight.
