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.

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

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