I'm a bit new to actually using Visio's more advance features, so in a nutshell what I was trying to do was link my Visio(2007) shape data to Access(2007) or at least a CSV file. Looking this up pointed me towards clicking Data on the menu and selecting Link Data to Shapes. Well, it's not there for me. I do see Shape Data..., Insert Data Solutions, and Reports...
I even have it runing in Developer mode (for other features, but I tried turning it off/on. Neither helped).
Am I missing something? There is not other instructions (that I could find) that talk about Link Data to Shapes. I do have those specific shapes on a seperate layer, but I don't think that should be a problem, should it?
Thanks in advance.
Visio Professional only, not in Standard.
Sucks to be me....
So I would need visio Professional to tie my visio file to Access. I've already exported to Access, but I would prefer to be able to manipulate the data from either software.
The alternative is to write custom code (something like this)
