Just shooting from the hip, I am wondering if there is a missing reference to Excel in the VBA project?

It pointed us in the right direction in creating a BOM in a similar manner and we have been using it for a number of years now. However I have recently upgraded to Visio 2010 Beta and the macro no longer works. It fails here: Set xlSheet = ThisDocument.Pages.Item("TitlePage").Shapes(xlName).Object.Worksheets(1) The Object property apparently no longer contains Worksheets. Any clues how to fix this?

When I insert a shape it asks for the access db. Can you please repost the example with all of the files? Your website has been great in helping me understand how to make a configurator for my company. Thanks! The zip file only contains the Visio file. When I insert a shape it asks for the access db.

The Visio SDK contains examples for tracing connections in Visio diagrams, ie: which line is connected to which shape. With this info, you could build the tool you are envisioning! - Chris Hi meerubus,

Have a look at this article:

For example, if i draw a flowchart of a system including decision boxes, looping, sequence control etc.. Then can Visio churn out the corresponding C# codes? ie. like a program generator. Thanks.

I was hoping i coulg get some help. Iam currently designing a reactor, but my calculations in excel keep changing the final size of the reactor. Is it possible to link the cell in excel to the size of the shape in visio? For instance if the calculations come to a height of 7cm, can viso automatically take this number and adjust the reactor height accordingly Any help is much appreciated Thanks Hi!

I've just added a link for a 2002 version, also way up at the top of the article. Hopefully this will get you going! - Chris Hi Rachael,

I am running 2002 and the some of the shape features don't work with this file. Do you happen to have an older version? Thanks You mentioned in your intro that demo was originally created for Visio before 2003. I am running 2002 and the some of the shape features don’t work with this file.

Do you happen to have an older version?
