Relationship layout does not show joins.

[Guest]

When I save a relationship layout and close the window, when I come back the
tables are in the same places, but the joins do not show up. When I open up
Northwids, it saves the relationships no problem. Just my database for some
reason does not store them. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

I've found that the relationships window can be VERY flaky and
error-prone; this is just one of several annoying symptoms. Try
clicking the "View All" icon (this may or may not help); also try
compacting the database.

If this doesn't help: Try clearing the form, selecting a table, and
clicking the "View Direct" icon. Do lines show up now?

Thanks, I just tried your suggestions, the Show Direct worked briefly, but
when I save and exit and come back they are all gone again. This is weird,
esspecially because it does not do it in the Northwids database.
