Rename pages makes VBA to not function

[j2206943s]

Hello All,

I am working on a project that I have created macros to auto-export the
pages in the visio project to emf files whenever a save event is registered.
The problem that I found today was when I renamed the pages to what I wanted
them to be, they retained the previous name. Is there any way to fix it so
that it is the correct name for the VBA macro to function properly?

I am using Visio Professional 2003 (11.3216.8221)

Thanks,

Jeff

Visio pages have two names, a Name and a NameU, see

You macro might be using the NameU, the Name might be more
appropriate.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply. I read the article you provided. My next question:
Is there any way to force visio to change the name? Or should I just start a
new visio project and create the pages with the names I want to use?

Thanks,

Jeff

You can write a macro to force the page Name and NameU to be identical
or you can use a utility I've written that will do the job (and many
others) at
