error 100

[CSequeira]

Having saved a new file that i created, with the right format *.vsd, i now
cannot reopen the file.
I keep getting a message "Error 100, Visio cannot open the file or the file
may be corrupt".
My question if it is corrupt, how can it be repaired.

 

[Al Edlund]

If it is corrupt then AFAIK it cannot be repaired. That was why visio
impliemented the autosave function in (I believe) v2002.

Thanks for the reminder. That is definitely something I should throw on the
history page.

You should also remind people that they must first turn on auto-save. It is
off by default.

tks Mark, I often tend to forget the more obvious things that shoot me in
the foot.
