Automatic flow chart generation

[Mary Lynn]

Back in the dark ages, late 1999 and 2000, I was using Visio to produce
system flow diagrams. Visio had the capability for me to enter the input file
names, the program name and the output file names into a built-in form
(multiple entries, lots and lots, it was a table, really). It would then
create the flowchart automatically. I haven't used Visio much since then.

I am now tasked with doing something similar and I have a nice, new version
of Visio and I cannot figure out where/how to do the same thing in Visio
2003. Can any one help me, please. TIA

I think the Visio wizard that might help you with this is the Import
Flowchart Data Wizard. You'll find it under Tools --> Macro --> Flowchart.
The wizard will walk you through setting up a file or let you select an
existing file.

Hope this helps,

Val

Actually Visio removed this feature from the 2003 version.

Thanks, Mark. I stand corrected.
