Simply trying to read a cell

[dave]

I'm trying to test the value in a custom property What am I doing wrong.

If vsoShape.CellU("Prop.ModuleType") = """9IDM""" Then "DoThatThing"

You've stopped at the cell object and not at what the cell contains:

CellU("...").Formula = "..."

or

CellU("...").ResultString(Visio.VisResultCodes.VisNoCast) = "..."

FYI, there's also Cell.ResultIU which returns numeric results in inches. And
Cell.Result( unitcode ) which gets you a number of a specific unit.

If vsoShape.CellsU("Prop.ModuleType").Formula = """9IDM""" Then
"DoThatThing" wpuld be hopeful.

Also, I *think* if you use ResultStr, you can get rid of one set of "" "" on
either side.
