Hi Ron.  A good chart program is OrgPlus.  We used it at the university I
was at several years ago.  Here is the website that you can peruse.  Hope it

> Does anyone know of a good program to draw org charts from information
stored in a database?  We have tried MS Visio, but there are some
limitations that cause a great deal of extra work.  We are looking for a
package which will draw the chart based on info stored in an SQL database.
We want to be able to specify how the information is presented on the page
(sorted by name, or department, etc) and how much information is on each
page (how many levels).  Visio doesn't allow you to specify sort orders or
to specify how many levels of the organization is on a page.  If anyone
knows of a way to do this in Visio please let me know.

> The scope of our organization is roughly 3000 people in 20 different major
departments.  The charts need to be updated monthly and it currently takes
about a week to do the updates because of so much manual repositioning in
Visio.
