Hi, I'm fairly new to dbases but only to the extent that I absolutely cannot believe any db administrator works without a product like dbdesigner fork (nee 4) so thanks for your great work.
That said, I've created a model (started with 4 before finding fork) that I saved progressively as 1_01, 1_02 etc. (I note there is a versioning box/option in fork but haven't figured it out yet if anyone wants to point me in the correct direction).
But my main query is that tried synchronizing with the mysql 5 dbase on the same machine (but it through circular relationship error messages). I then saved 1_04 and immediately saved 1_05 from which to continue but the second save threw an error (I can't remember what exactly).
Regardless, attempts to open either 4 or 5 throw a "List index is out of bounds (10)" error which upon clicking OK comes up again (for each of the 75 tables in the model????) and essentially crashes the fork program.
1_03 opens no problem though.
Any idea why/what the problem/solution is?
Also, any guidance on how to address the circular references issue (I understand via web searches what a circular reference is but don't feel I have done it in my model though I need to now go back through it. Obviously if found I can remedy but in conceptual ERD terms is it accurate to say there never should be a circular connection between any series of tables?)
Again, thanks in advance, love the product
Mike
