Is there any such thing as a program that automatically creates something like a Visio diagram of the workings of an Access app? That would be great...

Software to create flow chart of an Access app?

I think there was a version of Visio which was supposed to do this, but I can't remember which one!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,
I think such a process would be difficult for linear programming models (e.g. FORTRAN, GWBASIC, ..., ... ). Wheather they would even have 'meaning' in an "Event Oriented" language is quite open to question (at least in my mind).
How many 'entry points' would need to be represented? What events would constitite an entry point? How do you represent the program flow of option group selections (consider that an option group may be set, but the setting ignored in subsquent processing). What "Flow" is involved in parameterized queries?
I would, however, be interested in either some process to do this, or the inverse - generating an Ms. A. Application from some digramatic (e.g. FLOW CHART) source material.
Perhaps you could illustrate the desired / expected results of the process by taking a small example app and generating the expected 'chart' manually. I would certainly like to see that sample.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over
