Load list of data into visio shape

D

danmyhre

Does anyone know of any way to load a list of data from a database
into a custom visio master shape?

I have a database that contains type definitions and I would like to
be able to have visio read from that DB and display visually on my
diagram.

Here is an simplistic example.

Table: Order
Fields: OrderNum, OrderType

Type database will contain the different Key/Value options for
OrderType
N = Normal
C = Credit


Thank you!

you can do it with v2007 professional, linking shapes to data. In other
versions you have to write code.

That only seems to be able to link 1 record to a shape though. I need
to be able to display a list with 0..n records in it. Any ideas?
