Copying Template Sheet For Duplication

[km7516]

I write a significant amount of automatiion code in Excel. In excel I can
easily copy a template worksheet, give it a proper name and then populate it
from data pulled from any number of sources.

I have a large project where I need to take a template network diagram and
create the specific site implementation / "as-built" diagrams. At this point
I've never created any custom applications in visio, so sorry for what may be
a unknowing question(s). I want to copy a template sheet to a newly created
sheet following the template, give it a name and then change the variable
data elements in the sheet (network specific data).

The code will all be in VB since I'm going to turn it over to the
operational support team when I'm done.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

This might give you some ideas on linking to data

after that you're pretty much only limited by the usual three
