Default Code diagramming tool


Does anyone know of a tool that will make a graphical representation of a project (function/sub calling order)? I suppose I'm looking for a kind of "reverse flowchart" tool to document the code flow. I have been given a small project (5 forms, 10 modules, 2 classes), that is spaghetti code. I would like to view this code from a higher level by looking at what functions/sub call other functions/subs.

Anyone ever use a tool like this or have any other ideas?

tia,
flynn

I don't know of anything like that, but I do know that MZ Tools has a nice little feature where you can find out where a particular sub/function is being called from. It sounds like that might be helpfull to you.

I made a tool a while ago that did that, but you have to realize that the code flow can be drastically different depending on the input to the application.
