Sounds like you want an ERD (entity-relationship disgram) charting tool. I
haven't had the chance to use one but they can be expensive. If you have
access to a MS SQL server, you could model your database there. SQL server
enterprise admin has a diagramming tool.

Subject: Doohickey to visually show relationships between files

Don't know what I'm really asking for so, if anything, someone interpret
what I'm asking and suggest some search terms for the archives or web links.
<g>

I'm in the process of doing some analysis for an application I need to
write.  The files that this application needs to use are many and somehow
interrelated, but it's difficult to mentally keep track of them all.  Part
of the problem for me may be that some of the files are not normalized very
well.

So I guess I'm looking for a tool that allows me to plug in file names
which, in turn, lists fields defined, and perhaps "click & drag" connectors
that show relationships as I discover them.

Does any of this make sense?

FWIW, we're on v5r2 and using Win2k, CAE, WDSC.

TIA, db
