Important Database Question

[Arash Ferdowsi]

Hi everybody,
I need help fairly quickly on a Visio database issue. I've used the database
wizard to link shape properties to various fields in an access database. Now
I'd like to be able to add and link more shapes, and would like to be able to
do this without running the database wizard again. Exactly what do I need to
modify the ODBC checksum values to? I have no idea how the checksum values
are computed and what appreciate any assistance on the matter. I am using VBA
for the coding. Thanks a lot in advance.

You would normally use the wizard to link to masters, and then each shape
instance can have individual record links.
Is this what you have done?
Is is usually easier to re-use the wizard to create links to other masters.
The user cell value for the definition is quite complicated, and need to be
exactly correct, but you don't need to worry about the checksum value.
Infact I would normally have it empty in my masters.
