refresh shapes on multiple pages

[par]

My Visio2003 document has many db linked shapes on several pages. I can
manually refresh and from VBa (newbie) I can use '
Visio.Application.Addons("dbrs").Run "" ' to refresh all shapes on the active
page. But how do I get code to run for all linked shapes on all pages? (I
would like to run this on open, and also from Access VBA)

Also any tips on making updates run faster. I realize that having 200
linked shapes is going to take some time to update, but I'd like to do
everything I can to streamline the process.

thanks!

Dim pg as visio.page
for each pg in Visio.ActiveDocument.Pages
' Do add-on stuff
next pg

That didn't work for me. But I was able to do get the following to work.

Application.ActiveWindow.Page = Application.ActiveDocument.Pages.ItemU(1)
Visio.Application.Addons("DBRS").Run ""
Application.ActiveWindow.Page = Application.ActiveDocument.Pages.ItemU(2)
Visio.Application.Addons("DBRS").Run ""
Application.ActiveWindow.Page = Application.ActiveDocument.Pages.ItemU(3)
Visio.Application.Addons("DBRS").Run ""

Thanks,
Pat

Take two of those lines and stick them in the loop I sent you.
Replace the number with pg.Index
