Automating Visio diagrams from a database query

[MrRobin]

Is it possible to automatically generate Visio diagrams (of server cluster configurations) from an Access database query?

I.e. the query returns the server names and models etc for a particular application, say, and Visio will use the appropriate drawings for those models and label them with the server name etc etc.

No, but if you send the DB to India or Eastern Europe, someone will create the diagrams for you by hand for about £50.

A bit like shipping Scampi from Scotland to Thailand to have them hand peeled and then back again is cheaper than running a machine in the UK.

This is true, I could outsource, but the diagrams are likely to change everytime the architect changes his mind or headroom is revised etc etc etc so an automation process would be ideal.

Anyway, it is possible. This site shows the basics of it for the remote chance anyone else here is wondering how to do this.
