I am new to Visio. I actually have a trial version for evaluation. I am interested in using it for database diagramming. There is a template in Visio for this very thing. I walked through the wizard and established a new DSN for the database, however, the database does not show up in the list of data sources in the reverse engineering wizard. It does show up as a datasource in other areas in Visio. I am using the Database Model diagram type. Can anyone provide assistance in diagramming an existing access db with Visio?
 
Figured it out. Visio does not use file DSNs -- only User or System DSNs. These can be created through Control Panel --> Administrative Tools --> Data Sources (ODBC).
