I want to modify a Excel Data base that was previously extracted from a Visio Drawing, to be able to modified a shape property in visio, like the color of a line or its position. Is this possible in Visio without doing any VB programming?

if the data was extracted with the database wizard, you're supposed to be able to 'round trip' the data. i.e. open the drawing and refresh the information.
