Re: Database Transformer Puzzle in Rel 2.1 of Designer 2000

I think both Relationship Ends for Entity C must be mandatory and with checked Primary UID check boxes.

 _____________                 ___________
 | Entity A  |                 | Entity B |
 |___________|                 |__________|


        :                           :

        :                           :

        :                           :

        |                           |
        |                           |
       _|_                         _|_
       /|\                         /|\
    _ /_|_\ ______________________/_|_\_
   |          Entity C                  |
   |____________________________________|
