Network/Logic Diagram ( data from MS Project )

[BIG Chris]

Hi

I've been given the task of producing a logic diagram ( i.e. similar to a flow chart, decision points, boxes, diamonds, arrows etc ) based on data extracted from MS Project. I've already created a seperate app in MS project, so I am used to it's object model etc; but I was wondering if anyone has done a similar "application" and is willing to shed some light on how I can accomplish this in Visio ? Note - I have never done any Visio VBA coding, so it's object model is all new to me

On a more general note ( i.e. if specific code is not available for the above ) ; how do I "link" MS Project ( currently v 2002 ) with Visio ( currently v2002; though could be v2003 if necessary ) so that a user can see ( & manipulate ) a logic diagram ( using visio's power ) from within MS Project ? NB. The diagram only has to be produced from the Project Data; i.e. changes made by the user to the logic diagram should not then be reflected in the underyling project data

I know there's a lot here in these questions, but I've certainly been thrown in at the deep end here and so any help from this community ( no matter how little or much ) would be gratefully appreciated

Cheers

Chris.

Chris,
There is a very neat example piece of code in the v2003 SDK that takes a MS
project file and creates a tree diagram of it. Since the SDK is available
for free, you might want to consider downloading it and seeing if it meets
your needs.
