Sorry, I don't understand the question - could you please rephrase? Thanks.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Hi,
It depends on what it is that you want the diagram to tell you. Collaboration and Sequence Diagrams are showing the same information but in two different ways. Collaboration diagrams are good for understanding how the objects interactive with each other, hence Collaboration diagram. Sequence diagrams are good for understanding the flow of operations, hence Sequence diagram.
With most UML tools (Rational at least) you can generate Collaboration diagrams based on Sequence diagrams. I use this feature sometimes to get a better understanding of the connection between the diagrams.
Remember that you should only do diagrams if you think they will help! No point in doing stuff you don't need (except if your clients requires it!)
Kind regards,
Allan
