Hi Surrogate,

Yes, I added the reference to the library in the VBE.  Wasn't sure which to use, so I checked all three.  Type Library, Save As Web Type Library, and Visio Viewer 16.0 Type Library.

How can the code be changed to late binding?

Just cant find all these libraries as loaded (checked)

I use Visio 2019 Professional ie Visio 16 Type Library, like as MS Visio 2016.

if you use late binding, you dont need add references, but you need use values instead Visio's application system constants
    AppVisio.Documents.AddEx "", 0, 0
    AppVisio.Documents.OpenEx "C:\Users\1212C\Documents\My Shapes\Fry.vssx", 0 + 4  'Add Basic Stencil

Hi Surrogate,

That worked great by updating to the constants.  Thanks.

FryGirl, If you insert the following lines at the end of the DropStringOfBoxes procedure, then Visio will make the flowchart beautiful :)
   ...
    AppVisio.ActiveWindow.DeselectAll
    AppVisio.ActivePage.PageSheet.Cells("PlaceStyle").FormulaForceU = "1"
    AppVisio.ActivePage.PageSheet.Cells("RouteStyle").FormulaForceU = "5"
    AppVisio.ActivePage.Layout
   
    Set AppVisio = Nothing
End Sub

Wow, thanks Croc.  More than I could have expected.

Appreciate all the time and help from everybody.
