I want the ability to automatically create a drawing from a database.

Basically, one area on the page will show the model #, another will show product details, another will show product description, another will show a product photo (url on the fileserver).  Each of these areas on the page represent one field in the database.

So all we would need to do is insert the model# and all of these fields get populated automatically, the product image(s) automatically inserted and resized.

Is this possible?  Any example templates like this?

Using Visio 2007.

Sure, it's possible. Templates are in short supply and it takes a lot of work.

Source for the examples where the name starts with visRack is over on codeplex.

A vba intro project is over here
