Visio 2000/2002

[Paul Herber]

How many of you are still using Visio 2000 / 2002 (or earlier)?

paul,
I keep a copy of v2000 on an xp virtual machine because I also have VENT installed on that system for the very rare network discovery attempt.

Paul,
I no longer use it , version 2013 and 2010 platforms  are my current modus operande. Because I like to link my visio to SOE databases I note there are 32 bit /64 bit issues people need to be aware of, If you upgrade data linked VSD files to the later platforms.

Paul:

   At work I use whatever they have (2013 currently), but on my home machine I still use Visio 2002 exclusively.  I haven't upgraded for numerous reasons, but the two biggest ones are: 1) I can test to be sure that my outlandish macro solutions are backward compatible; and 2) I haven't encountered any pressing need to upgrade.  I assume that someday soon some later version of Windows will take exception to running such archaic software (just as Windows 7 did with my old Outlook 2000) and I'll be forced to upgrade.  But until something breaks, I see no reason to implement a fix.

   Why the interest, if I may ask?

I had an enquiry back in August about supplying some of my Visio shapes in Visio 2000 format, and I'm wondering whethet to provide support for that format. I'd like to know how much interest there is.
