HELP! -- stupid ? -- Changing line end

[Ice]

How come I can't change the line ends when I'm drawing a ERD? I tried
right clicking on the line -->format -->Line then changing the ends but
on the file it's not changed and when I go into format again it's back
to default.

Can someone help me? I'm using Visio 2002 standard

Thank you
Ice

The line-ends have meaning to the model in your diagram, so the arrows
change to reflect different settings of the actual model objects. Ie: Visio
assumes you're building something real and following the rules, not just
making a sketch.

If you ARE just making a sketch, you might try doing it with the flowchart
template or something other than a database diagram.

Otherwise, check out the settings under:

Database > Options > Document > Releationship Tab

there are some options for changing the way connectors look, but the
modeling "enforcers" will still be active.

Hope this makes sense,
