is there a tool to display relationships between tables

I've moved all my tables to sql server2005 and I've created the
appropriate relationships
now I create links to two such tables that have a relationship into ms-
acess97
but when I add the two tables to the 'relationship' window, it appears
as though my odbc dsn link doesn't bring across the relationship(s),
so I just see two tables

sql server has a 'diagram' , is that the best tool, or is there
another ms-product that works better ?

There cannot be formal relationships between tables in 2 different DBs,
that is a distributed DB and MS Access can't handle that; nor, I
believe, can SQL Server.

all my tables are in sql server... so I'm not trying to implement
relationships across databases

I just want a way to graphically view the tables / relationships like
the 'relationships' function in ms-access

and like I stated, sql server has a 'diagram' function that looks
similiar, it's just bulky to work with
