Missing Daigrams

    I have noticed recently, that I am no longer able to view or modify any diagrams on my workstation.  I can see the names of the diagrams, but after opening the diagrams, I can't see any of the tables, or even make modifications to them.

    If I go to other workstations or the server, using any login (SA, Administrator, NT Auth), I can see and modify the diagrams, just like i used to on my own workstation. 

    I am, howerver able to create new diagrams and add tables to them.  I can then re-open the diagrams and modify them as needed.  I have all the latest service packs for SQL Server loaded both on my server and workstation.  I also have all the service packs for VS.net and VS6 installed too.

    What gives? 

    Thanks,

    Brian

    I have the same problem.  Googled for some info, but came up pretty much empty.  Hopefully someone here knows what's up...

    Me too, the same problem is on come having installed the last one MDAC 2.8.

    And if I create a new diagram by adding a single table with the option to include dependencies until 5 levels, it does not find them!

    Furthermore, I have to make a new package of installation because my program crash when it tries to execute the DTS from VB6 SP6 !

    I too am having problems with VB6 SP6, not with SQL Server, just with VB6 in general.  Seems to be a little more unstable than it usually is.

    I am only running MDAC 2.7 and not 2.8.  So maybe it has something to do with VB SP6?

    I have searched numerous SQL Server websites and everything in microsofts web site, but have not been able to find a solution to the SQL Diagram issue.

    Hi, Everyone!!!

     

    I replaced the file mdt2df.dll, now I can build new diagrams, but I can't see old ones. I thank you for the solution.

    Found a bit more info... http://www.developersdex.com/sql/message.asp?p=1926&ID=%3CA59FC9F1-35DD-488D-9273-1A4AE8109E0A%40microsoft.com%3E.  Seems it may be a VB6 SP6 issue.  I am now getting a problem where if I open a diagram created pre-SP6 I get a GPF crash of EM.  If I create a diagram new and edit it, it seems to be OK (for now...)

    The problem lies within VB SP6. In order to see the diagrams, locate file MDT2DF.DLL from within SP5 for VB. Copy this to Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/MSDesigners98 and replace the current version. You should then see all diagrams again as normal.
