CTRL + Click   

I reverse engineered a SQL Server 2005 database - after much messing and fussing due to the fact Visio 2003 doesn't play well with SQL2K5.

I then went ahead and saved the diagram as a web page. When I view it, the 
menu bar to the left says to "CTRL  click a shape to see details". I've CTRL 
 clicked until my mouse was smoking, yet nothing happens...

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

\par The Database Model solution shapes do not store the modeling information in "Custom Properties", unfortunately.
\par Assuming, as John says, that you used the Save As Web Page function, and are viewing the HTML output in a browser, the only information that you will see when using Ctrl-Click is Custom Properties, and will not include any of the Model information for Tables, etc.
\par 
\par By the way, to see an example of how the Custom Properties view is leveraged, you can create an Organization Chart and save as a web page.  The OrgChart uses Custom Properties quite a bit, and will be a good example.
