Linking shape to database

[Francis Shrago]

I am creating a floor plan using Visio 2003 Pro and would
like to show who sits at each desk. Is there a way of
displaying some text from an Access DB on specific desks.
eg record ID 100 in the database contains the persons
Name, project, shift etc and I want to show that
information on the floorplan dynamically.
