We are using the ModelMart product which will save versions of your diagrams in an MS SQL Server, SYBASE, or ORACLE database (No INFORMIX yet! :-( ). I can do some primitive versioning, merging of diagrams, multiple users and security, etc. Pretty damn cool. I agree that the syncronization is not quite up to snuff, but I did get a sneak preview of the beta for version 2.6 and it will be TONS better on the syncro. I found a few bugs in it along the way, but customer support has been very helpful and very responsive to my questions. All in all it is terrific! Without ERwin my data modeling would take a lot more time. -Matt
