Visio 2003 - Auto Populating Shape With Database Fields

Greetings:

Is it possible to auto populate the text field in a shape that is linked to
a database to a specific field?

This from V2003 Inside Out
Al
At a minimum, you can create a shape-to-database link to

import values into custom property fields.

Linking Limitations

There are limits to what Visio can do when it creates a link between a shape
and a database

record. Be aware of the following limitations:

? String size You cannot store ODBC strings larger than 64-KB characters in
Visio cells

and fields.

? Primary key type You cannot specify a field of type SQL_TIMESTAMP as the
primary

key.

? Replication IDs You cannot update replication IDs from an Access database.

? Timestamp fields You cannot update Timestamp fields from an Informix
database.

? Binary field size You cannot store ODBC binary fields larger than 32 KB in
Visio cells

and fields.
