Shape help

[msnews.microsoft.com]

We are not able to get Visio to reference a *.hlp!#(map#) file for a shape
when using Visio 2002 or 2003. It works fine in Visio 2000. Is there
something new that we need to do for 2002 and 2003?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This is a known error. There doesn't seem to be any hope of MS fixing it (or
the documentation!) either. Their recommendation is to use chm files instead
of hpl files.

I know this is a major issue if you are trying to support multiple versions
of visio (I support back to Visio 5C).

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your help. This doesn't leave me with many options.
