No, Access is on a server, I can link to the database. My problem is
linking
the original shape. The original shape is just a rectangle that was
imported
from CAD. It had two properties (a room number and name) that I want
linked
to the database. Because the room number and the door numbers look
similar
we
do not show the room number on the drawing and I am using it as the
key. I
exported the data from the drawing originally so it would make sense
that
I
should be able to link back to it. The only part of the shape that is
visible
is the room name so it acts like a label for the room. I cannot seem
to
tie
the two together without creating a new datagraphic. The drawings take
up
enough space without adding redundancy, which I do not want. Monday I
will
try to make a linked master. I do not have the path to the “Master
Database”
so I will have to wait for my IT dept to show up. (See if I keep
resetting
their servers!)

As a question
"Running XP Pro on a Network with Visio 2007", are Visio, the
drawing,
and
Access all on the same client workstation?

Running XP Pro on a Network with Visio 2007:
Under tools I did use the “Database Wizard”
Following the wizard through-
Link shapes to database records
Shapes in drawing
Select shapes
Choose source
Table
Choose Prim-Key Field
Choose default key or click none
If I choose none it does nothing!! If I choose default it changes
all
to
the
default. But neither give me a workable link. No linked table and
a
error
message when I try to refresh –

The
problem
is linking to the existing shape without creating a new

In the left hand column of the table in the external data
window,
is
there a
little chain link displayed? This shows that the record and the
shape
are
linked. If I remember correctly, if you edit a shape manually
the
link
will
be broken and you will have to relink the shape to the record.

I used the wizard, the access table was built from the
drawing so
all data
and column names were the same at the start. There is only
the
one
table
in
the external data window. When I refresh that table, it will
update,
but
not
the shape. I have done this before and had no problems on
shapes
that I
built.

How are you linking the data to Access (the data linking is
a
read
only
process, the database wizard round trips but the fields have
to
have been
in
the shapes when you started)?
If you select from the menu bar view = external data
window,
how
many
tables show up?

news I am working with a Visio drawing created with 2007 Pro,
the
columns in
Access are the same as what they are labeled in Visio.
(The
Data
came
from
the drawing.) The table in Visio will update to the Access
Databse but
the
shape will not! I selected automaticaly link to do the
whole
page. I
have
also linked a single record and it will not update.

which drawing are you referring to (the cad or the
visio)?
Are
you
using
v2007 pro? Does the shape have a shapedata/property with
the
same name
as
the access datafield? If you 'drag' the external
datarecord
field from
the
external data table to the shape, does it apply?

I extracted data from a Visio Drawing that was from a
converted CAD
DWG
file.
I then linked it back to Visio from Access.
It will refresh the linked table but not the data on
the
shape
in my
drawing!?!
Any sugestions?
