Shape Properties drop-down selection list

[chuckanw]

We are using Visio with an Access link to document a small data center. We
will be assigning a large properties list to each shape, e.g.
servers/switches/etc. Because of the need for uniformity in the database, we
would like to use a drop-down selection list in the Visio properties just
like we will use in MSAccess to avoid seven different names for the same
server. I can't seem to find anything even close to giving me a clue how to
do it. Any advice will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks!
Chuck
