Hi,

I wasnt sure whether this is the right place for this question but then thought that this a a DBA forum and using ERWIN/Data modelling is an integral part of DBA's activity. Hope my thread is read/responded to.

Now the question ...

I am having a very annoying issue with ERWIN.

I am trying to copy and paste objects (tables) from a current diagram layout into a new blank diagram. And when I try to do that it pops up a dialog box saying

"You are inserting a non-unique Non-key: <column_name>

in Entity Name : <entity_name>"

and it has a disabled OK button and a cancel button.

All you can do is keep hitting cancel for each column in the table you are trying to paste.

Even though it pastes the tables correctly with all the columns, its very annoying.

I looked around in the documentation and some newsgroups but without any help.

It seems to pop up this dialog box for every column in every table you are trying to paste other than the unique ones.

Has anybody faced this before.

Is there a box I need to check/uncheck to suppress this.

Please suggest.

Please Note: i tried it on both ERWIN 3.5.2 and ERWIN 4.0

Thanks
