Let me briefly describe the problem we as a group are having: Most of the engineers in the group are using and have been using Visio 2000. Needless to say we have a lot of drawings that have been created in Visio 2000. Some people have migrated to Visio 2003. The problem we found with Visio 2003 is that some of the drawings created in Visio 2000 can not be read from Visio 2003 which prevents the group from migrating to Visio 2003, hence the problem. There have been attempts to install both versions of Visio on our machines and only one person was successful in accomplishing that task. I have several examples of files that I am willing to share an example of if someone would like to look at these files and maybe tell us what we have to do in Visio 2000 to get Visio 2003 to read and modify these drawings. Your help and assistance in this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Try setting Visio 2003 security to Low to see if that fixes things. If not, you could send me an example paul (at) pherber (dot) com -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.
