I already have the table design hammered out - but how to dislay it all
graphically in a Web page? I suppose a "brute force" method would involve
using GDI+ on the server to crank out a diagram that gets saved as a jpg
that is in turn referenced by an aspx - but that's a lot of work. I was
hoping for something simpler. Any ideas?

Thanks
