I think you are beating yourself up with no need.

If you have Adager/Flexibase/DBGeneral or already have a good schema 
file for the databases, just generate the schema files and import them 
into word or excel and give them to whoever they are.

If they can't put together the data structure from that, no amount of 
time you can spend with visio is going to impart any more information.

A schema file isn't difficult to understand, and if they can't there 
isn't much you can do to help them.

A few pointers on the schema file like this is a Primary Key this is a 
sorted key and indications that a specific numeric has (n) implied 
decimal places should be the most they should need plus a couple of 
pages from the Image manual that describe the data types. Image 
structures aren't complex.
