If I understand you correctly, then you consider the ZipLocation to be the parent of the State?
My understanding of the situation is the reverse, one State may have one or more ZipLocations, so one ZipLocation belongs to one State. So your diagram looks correct with regard to the relationship between ZipLocation and State :) Enjoy, John On Mar 18, 4:41 am, TheHerk <theh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here is a link to a screenshot of a class diagram I am working on, > with noted model associations.
