Exporting connector information

E

empty_h

I have a simple diagram with a three shapes and a dynamic connector between
two of them. When I export to Access, all I get is four rows in my table
with information about each independent shape and the connector. Is there
any way to determine, in Access, which two shapes the connector associates?

the connectors will have fields begin x and end x (begin y end y) that look
something like this
PAR(PNT(Square!Connections.X1,Square!Connections.Y1))
PAR(PNT(Square.2!Connections.X1,Square.2!Connections.Y1))

this describes a link from object "square" to object "square.2" for the
begin x and end x. In my table, square was the first shape and ".2" is the
second shape.

The value in BeginX is _WALKGLUE(BegTrigger,EndTrigger,WalkPreference). Am
I missing something or confingured differently?

we may need a little more information. I tried to duplicate what you said
(drop a couple of shapes on a page and use a dynamic connector to connect
them). How did you make your drawing?

Sorry for the delay. I was out of the office.

I started a new Basic Flowchart diagram. I added a Process object and
called it A; added a second PRocess object and caleld it B; then added a
Dynamic Connector between the two of them. I exported to an Access database
via ODBC. The BeginX value is
"_WALKGLUE(BegTrigger,EndTrigger,WalkPreference)".

I repeated the same steps, but starting a Corss Functional Flowchart diagram
and got the same results.

I'm running Visio Professional 2003 SP1 (11.4301.6360). What other
information I can provide?
