Hi,

Is there a way to create a database diagram in the EM and then save it as gif file. Actually, I have to just send the database diagram across.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramesh Singh

Maybe take a screen shot ?

Or, use Visio to do a diagram

Hi Rakesh,

The Problem can be partly solved by using visio because, visio can only import the structure of the table. It cannot import the relationships between tables.
So, buddy what u can do is take the Printsceen of the Diagrams and save them as .gif. If the diagrams are too big to appear in complete screen then try it by increasing the screen area of the display of ur machine. Hope this will help u. In any case let me know.

Thanx

Yes it can. I don't know about earlier versions, but Visio 2000 can import all of this using the Reverse Engineer Database feature. Then you can save the diagram as a GIF file.
