ERD relationship connections Visio 2003   

I am trying to change the relationship connector style by choosing 
format->line and then choosing different ends for the line. It changes in the 
preview of the dialog, but no effect on the actual connector.

Neither can I.
Is there no rule in ERD as in UML about the meaning of the line arrows ?
Maybe Visio protects you against yourself.
This is diagramming, not drawing.

It is protected because of the standard notation for ERD diagram. 
Nevertheless if you want to
change it disregrading the notation do this :
    Select the relation
    Open the shapesheet
    Go to the line format section
    Delete the GUARD in the BeginArrow cell
    Delete the GUARD in the EndArrow cell
    Thats all folks

Enjoy with visio
