Custom Add-on won't load w/ Visio 2003

[b2]

We have a custom Add-on (VB ActiveX DLL) that creates/shows a toolbar and adds our menu to the Visio menubar

This installs (Installshield package) and works just FINE in Visio 2000 and 2003

However, it does NOT load during the startup of Visio 2003. In fact, Visio 2003 does not even call the Load() subroutine as it does in 2000 and 2003

Did something change in Visio 2003 regarding the startup or location of add-ons

Thanks!

Sorry ... the DLL is mentioned is a library that supports the Visio Add-on.

The actuall Visio add-on is actually a VB .exe COM object (contains the menu and toolbar)

But like I said, it installs and works fine with Visio 2000 and 2003; the Load() sub is called just fine with those older versions of Visio, just not with Visio 2003.

Hi B2,

I'm doing the exact thing. I'm not having the load problem you do, but I
had questions other then an answer to your problem. I was wondering when
you add shapes to the document, how do u edit the specific fields of that
shape? Say you added a UML object Package, how would you edit the
stereotype and things like that?

Thanks

Shawn
