Org Chart import using a lot of memory

[contact_ankit86]

Hi,

I am trying to create a org chart in Visio that has around 7000 entities. I am using the Import functionality of the Visio and on step "Dropping shapes" it shows some unexpected error and goes into Not responding mode. When i look into task manager Visio has already taken 1 GB of RAM..

Any idea whats wrong ? Can any one help ?

Is it the RAM issue ? or the No of entities..? or is there any limit on the RAM visio can take..?

Pleas ehelp

It says "Unexpected Error" and then Visio stops responding.. I need to force close Visio. I a=have my data in Excel.. Basically the Coli has entity ID and col 2 has the parent to which entitty reports.

When I look into the Task Manager. I can see that Visio has crossed 1 GB and it stays there..

Any thoughts..?
