Dynamically show text document

[JohnK]

I am using Visio 2003 to document our servers. I use scripts to create
individual text files listing hardware and software information for each
server. Is there a way to dynamically show the text from the appropriate
text file in a box in Visio so that the end user does not have to open two
separate windows to see the information in both documents?

The problem is one of concurrency, trying to keep the two sets of documents
in sync. It will have to be done in code. If the documents are in MS word
you might consider using hyperlinks (I understand that it is indirectly
opening the second document and an additional window).

Depending on how you have the text files set up, the new functionality in
the upcoming version of Visio might help: http://blogs.msdn.com/eric_rockey/
