Hi all,

Is it possible to relate the shapedate from one shape to another that is embedded. For example I have a parent shape where i have a data field called "Name" (Prop.Name) the actually is "Finance". In the shape I have arranged a bunch of process shapes with names such as "General Ledger" "Tax etc. These process shapes have a second feild called "Department" (Prop.Department). When I put the processes shape into the department is it possible to populate the department automatically.

Thanks

Mike

One way would be to take advantage of v2010's use of containers (using your prop.name) and any time a shape got dropped into it I'd take advantage of event/macro to update the shape that was put into it. Requires a little coding to make it happen.
