Visio will allow you to reverse engineer a database. It seems to me you could do this with Visio 2002 but I no longer have that version so can't verify. Visio 2003 will do it. As Herb said create a new drawing using the Database Model Diagram template. That adds a "Database" menu. Choose Database -> Reverse Engineer. This starts a wizard that will allow you to connect to any ODBC compliant database and Visio will create database entities for each table you choose.

I used it on several occasion. After creating the drawing I sent the drawing to my wife and she changed the setting of the drawing and ran it off on her plotter. I had a nice wall size drawing I used to show staff and other developers where we were at.

Some folks have said it became part of the developers suite, but that is a product I am not familiar with. I don't know of anything that will do this today.
