I'm using Visio 2007 and have created a process flow diagram. I'm adding layers to show the various scenarios that might occur. Currently I have 9 layers (not including Connectors and Flowchart layers).

I select the shape and add it to a layer. I do this for all the layers. I get the following problems:

1. the shapes keep dissapearing from the layer. The most recently updated layer hold the correct shapes but the earlier layer that was populated is now almost emply except for a few connectors. I've re-allocated the shapes some 5 times and getting desperate. The majority of the shapes are all used on the layers with very few new shapes added to each layer.

2. I have designated the colour of the layer. The items do not change when allocated to the layer. What am I doing wrong.

All help gladly accepted
