Hello,

 When I do a reverse engineering on a SQL Server 2008 DB, I have a bunch of Views/Sprocs/Functions that I get a warning about not being able to parse.  (I've pasted below).  What does that mean and is there a way I can get rid of them?

Warning: View dbo.Answers could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.vAdEntcore could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.vStringsMain could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.vForumThreadPostInfo could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.vDownloadEntities could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.vStrings could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.Field_Answer could not be parsed.
Warning: View dbo.Entcore could not be parsed.
Warning: Procedure dbo.spReadMessages could not be parsed.
Warning: Procedure dbo.spDeleteMessages could not be parsed.

Thank you,

That is a relatively minor issue.  It just means that either we could not parse the view or we could not represent it (if it has a join clause - we will post a post 3.5 build with better join clause support).  The view will still be represented in the model, but with not as much structure.  i.e. it is basically a block of text.  MR will still generate and compare it though.  If you can send us the views, etc... we can give you a more specific answer.
