Data does not refresh to drawing.
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?

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? al "Ken" wrote in message ...

Data does not refresh to drawing.
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. "AlEdlund" wrote: which drawing are you referring to (the cad or the visio)?

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? al "Ken N" wrote in message 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.

Data does not refresh to drawing.
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.

Data does not refresh to drawing.
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. al "Ken N" wrote in message ...
