How to select shapes with VBA

[Dirk]

Hi,

I currently have a VBA module that will read a text file that contains
a list of process names and places a shape on a page with the text
field containing the name of the process. Once I have created all the
processes I would like to read another file that contains a list of
parent child relationships and programmatically connect the two
processes.

Can anyone give any suggestions on how to connect two shapes.

Thanks,
Dirk

Character.Text property might be one idea, for example,,,
Dim shp As Visio.Shape
For Each shp In ActivePage.Shapes
If shp.Characters.Text Like "name*" Then
ActiveWindow.Select shp, visSelect
End If
Next
