Is it possible to have the properties of ..say a PC (shape) change if I drop
it onto a lab bench (shape). If I have a bench Location of Bench A then I would like all of the PC;s take on that location automatically. |

short answer - depends on your skills and familiarity with coding and visio.
I'd start over here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.10).aspx and then download the Visio Sdk. The basic software skills would be the ability to read and update shape information, recognize where the shapes are located on a page, etc. I'd also check Chris Roth's site (has lots of pointers to the other MVPs, and example code). al "G" wrote in message ...
