When trying to open a file created with 2002 in visio
2000 I recieve an error 114 b/c drawing was created with
a newer or unrecognized version.

Hello Jennifer,
Ideally the error 114 should not come up if a Visio2002 created is being
opened in Visio 2000.
This error should only be displayed if you are trying to open a Visio 2003
drawing in Visio 2000.
However the only resolution to this issue will be to save the drawing as a
Visio 5 drawing from Visio 2002(if it was created in Visio 2002)
or
Save the drawing as Visio 2002 from Visio 2003 ( If the drawing was created
in Visio 2003)

Please Note: Perform the Save As operation from the File menu : and as Save
As "drawing type" Visio 2002 drawing (in case of Visio 2003) / Visio 5.0
drawing (In case of Visio 2002)

Hi, just came across this problem trying to access V2003 files using
V2000. Despite saving diagrams in V2002 format from V2003, 99% of
these couldn't be accessed from V2000.

But I discovered a workaround:

Using V2003:
- create a blank document and save it in V2002 format.
- Open the V2003 diagram and cut-and-paste all its contents to the
blank diagram.
- Save the copied file (in V2002 format), and send it to the machine
with V2000.

Where you can now edit it!

Regards,
Pete.
