How do I find a custom property name/shape in multiple files with.

[RLDWACH]

With over 100 VISIO files, of rack space, server names, we are trying to
SEARCH on a server name in a file. Also, extracting information from these
different files into a database. Does the CUSTOM PROPRITIES have to be
filled out. We only have names on the drawings above/near the stencils?

You can search on text within whatever context you want. Given what you've
mentioned it might be wise to not only search for custom properties but also
just grab whatever text is associated with a shape. However.... you don't
say whether the names "above/near the stencils" are text fields from the
shape or annotations seperate from the shape.
