Management Studio can not open SQL 2000 diagrams, if you click on the diagrams branch of the tree it should ask if you want to install diagram support, once this is done you can create new diagrams.

hi,

usually you have to first import the database to the new SQL Server 2005 instance (as you already did)..

then modify the compatibility level to 90 via the SSMSE, database properties (options tab), and finally set the database owner to a valid principal, again SSMSE, database properties (files tab, "owner" peroperty )...

then you should be able to access database diagrams..
