Visio 2000 Startup with specific template

[Jacob Riff]

Hi All!

I would like to make Visio 2000 start up with a specific template that
I have created. I have tried to place it in the startup folder, but
that didn't work. I have read in the help that I need to create a
macro and place it in this dir. However, I don't know how to create a
macro without creating a vss-file. Could somone please tell me step by
step how I make Visio 2000 do what I want

Thanks in advance!

I think you'll have to use VB to make an .exe. I can't quite remember the
particulars. The code isn't that hard, something like:

Sub OpenIt()
dim visApp as visio.application
set visApp = GetObject(, "visio.application")
visApp.Documents.Add("myTemplate.vst")
End Sub

If there's a VB geek in your office, maybe you can get him to make you an
..exe real quick...
