Utility for Table Schemas

Well, there is that! :-)

I've recently come up with a method for house/office cleaning. It's called
the "One Bag At A Time" method. What you do is you take a large plastic
garbage bag, walk around, and fill it up with trash, unneeded mail, other
miscellaneous unneeded things, and you keep going until the bag is full.
Then you take the bag out and stop. Then another time, you do another bag.
And you keep doing this until things are clean. This way, it's not too much
at once. And once you have the bag in your hand, you're motivated to find
stuff to put in it! :-)

by knowing which part of the floor it was left on.... My computer files,
on the other hand, are very organized. :-)

8) Re the stickies, the good thing about this stage of development means
I take a day (or three) to clear the myriads of paper, empty pop bottles,
sandwich crusts to clear off my desk and organize myself. 8)

Actually, you can use the graphic tools in Excel to draw boxes and lines
to
create a simple ER diagrams.

In my classes, I give the students a PowerPoint template that has all the
objects created that they can just copy and paste into a new PowerPoint
document to draw their ER diagrams. It actually works pretty well. You can
find it he http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/TutorialsDesign.html

Yes, I can list tables and fields in Excel; but I'd like to visually
display table relationships and joins. Surely there must be a tool out
there
that does this.

You can do this in Excel.

I meant just a tool for playing with table designs and providing a
graphical interface/printing utility, not one that would do the
designing
work for me. I want to be able to design the tables manually, set up
relationships, and print the schemas, without creating the tables, and
then create the tables once I'm done with all the design work. Seems
that
such a utility exists.

A utility to develop table schemas?

If ou are looking for suggestions on how to design schemas for a
variety
of needs, this might be useful:
http://www.databaseanswers.com/data_models/index.htm

In general, though, you only go go the trouble of creating a custom
database if there is no off-the-shelf solution. Therefore the bespoke
Access databases you create all have unique needs, and cannot be
designed by a utility.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good inexpensive or free utility
for
developing table schemas.
