                                            | Can you reverse engineer SQL tables and display the data type using Visio 2010? This is what I'm doing now: Click on File - Software & Database - Database Model Diagram - Create Click on Database - Reverse Engineer - Generic OLE DB Provider  Select SQL Server Native Client 10.0 - Next - enter servername, windws NT, database name- OK Get msg The default driver was changed to Generic OLEDB provider.   Uncheck Stored procedures - Next - Choose my tables - Next - Next - Finish ** When I click on reverse engineering and have to select a driver - with Microsoft SQL Server -  I can create a new datasource but it never shows up in the list under Microsoft SQL Server.   It shows up under ODBC. Also - the my computer is a 64 bit machine and the software is 32 bit.JS |
