Corrupt file?

[david clark]

I have a Database Model diagram that I have been working
on for some time. I have just noticed that the Connector
Tool no longer works, I cannot drag new relationships with
the tool, nor can I place them then drag the ends onto an
entity.
Looking through my backups the problem seems to have
started a couple of days ago, one file I can add
relationships, the next I cannot.

Any help greatly appreciated... Does anyone from MS
actually read these groups regularly?

Hi David,

I just suffered the same problem and turned to the newsgroups for help.
After not finding any answers I thought I was stuck with this problem
forever...but not so! The problem is one of glue, or rather, lack of it.
Go to Tools, Snap&Glue and select "Glue" - make sure that 'Connection
Points' is selected under the Glue To section and you should be back to
normal.

I got this problem after mashing the keyboard by accident and I think
there is some keyboard shortcut that disables the glue feature.

Hope this helps if you didn't figure it already
Cheers
-Rob.
