I know this is probably not the right place to ask this question, but I don't know where else to turn. I tried google, but it hasn't helped me this time.

I have Visio 2007 Professional. I am trying to create a database model, complete with primary keys, foreign keys, and relationships. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get the database properties window to show. I tried double clicking the table entity, as well as the relationship entity, but nothing shows up. I tried running the script on this page, but it didn't work for me.

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Close Visio, and open again, this time go through home page choosing the Data Model Diagram template. If you try opening the template from the Shapes window it sometimes doesn't show up. Closing and restarting worked for me :)
