Configuration File with Icon

[Jim]

Hi,

I create many network diagrams with visio and I would like to be able to
have an option or the ability to double click the Switch, router, firewall,
etc. icon and pull the config file for that specific icon.

How might I do this with the least amount of complexity? Looking for a
simple fix as I have many, many drawings I would like to do this with...

thx

a simple macro that calls the windows shell will do it, since firewalls are
involved you can have the macro open your ssh application so that you can
telnet to it. The assumption is that the ip address of the resource is
stored in shape data in the drawing.
