Anyone,

I'am uable to open a visio file.Each time I get: Error

Greg,
I'm really sorry to tell you that if you've received an error 100 your file
is not recoverable. I have to assume you are using Visio 2000, but
fortunately the vast majority of these cases can be eliminated in the future
by downloading a patch. Please see
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;264660&Product=visio2k
for more information. Error 100 is simply an error given by Visio telling
you that it cannot read the file. Basically, it is a catastrophic failure of
some sort. Again, I'm really very sorry for the loss of your file, but I
believe the patch will prevent 99% of future occurrences.
Regards,
Cindy [msft]
