PRB: Database Diagram for SQL Server Database Doesn't Show Field

 Last reviewed: December 9, 1997
Article ID: Q165890
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Using the Database Tools in Visual InterDev, when you drag a SQL Server table onto the database diagram surface, you get a blank box showing no fields.

CAUSE

SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 2 was not installed on the machine that had the SQL Server database.

RESOLUTION

Installing SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 2 from the Visual InterDev CD-ROM fixes this problem. The server pack can launched from the CD-ROM at \VI1.0\SERVER\SQLSRVSP\SETUP.EXE.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a Web project.

  2. Add a data connection to a SQL Server Database 6.5 (without SP2).

  3. Create a new database diagram.

  4. Drag a table onto the diagram.
