Using Visio 2010
I have a layout of a parking lot and all my shapes are vehicles parked in the lot. I have the vehicles tied to a database. Is there anyway if a condition in the database changes you could have certain shapes blink? What I'm trying to do is show when a vehicle in the parking lot is due for an oil change.
Thanks
that gets into animation.....several threads on the forum about that
In a nutshell, need VBA to show/hide shape at a blink rate
What you could do is mark the parking space a color ...say "red"....when a new car is present
Some entry in the DB to say "new" or "old"
then to paraphrase...soemthing like
parkingspace!filleforegnd = if (samestr(index, "new"), <red>, <grey>))
