Being a database designer, I prefer ER/Win a lot for it easy of use and bi-directional synchronization between database schema and the repository. On the other hand, I like Desginer 2000 for covering the whole cycle of the development, analysis, desginer, development etc.. If you are database designer and working on a small project, ER/Win should be you choice. If you are project manager or working on a large application development, Desginer 2000 should be your choice. David Ng
