[AccessD] Relationships to Visio?

Rocky,

The times I've used the relationships diagram for a big project, I'd
spend quite a bit of time positioning the tables and lining up the
join lines and spacing everything so that it was readable even though
it stretched out beyond the bounds of normal paper.  Then I'd do
screen captures of the different sections of the diagram and splice
them all together in some graphics program.  Finally I'd print out the
full diagram so that it spanned several sheets.  Then scissors and
tape to make a relationships diagram suitable for framing.

These days I might get somebody where I work to print the full diagram
on one of the large format printers we have.
