Sherry writes "I am using Visio (Visual Studio .NET enterprise architect edition) as a modeling tool. I have a sql server 2000 database with 173 tables. After I select the options to reverse engineer my database and start adding tables to my diagram, I get this:

MicroSoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
c:\program files\Microsoft office\visio10\visio.exe

Abnormal program termination
Actually, I am lucky if I get this error message, sometimes it just freezes the program. Anybody seen this before? Anybody have any advice? Thanks,
Sherry"

Are you able to reverse-engineer a smaller database (fewer tables)? Might this be a size issue?

I figured it out. You have to have the entity relationship stencil up on the screen when you add a table that has a foreign key. I had closed the er stencil to make more room for my diagram. So although it appeared to be random, it was only crashing when I added a table with a foreign key. It sort of makes sense, but it is sort of stupid. Nevertheless, I am on my way. Thanks. Sherry

Do you have the service release update? I don't know if it helps in this case, not having used VSEA myself:
