Visio 2003. Where are the macro for the masters?

[Fabian]

Dear all,

I am new at VBA programming with Visio.

We have inherited a list of masters and stencils for Visio 2003 that
interface to a Macro to generate excel spreadsheets.
All our masters have Custom Properties set.

Now, we need to update these masters. I am able to edit and create new
masters or amend existing custom properties but some of these masters
have a sort of "intelligence". In other words, if I change property #1,
I see property #3 automatically changed).

I know that there are better way to obtain the same result, but that's
what we get from the past.

I would like to know: where is the software, the VBA, the macro -
master dependent that allows this property 3 to be changed following
property 1?

Many thanks for your reply.

Cheers,
Fabian

I'd start by examining the shapesheets for the masters to see if they use
references.

Thanks for your reply.

What do you mean by "Shapesheets"? Where do I find them?

I can only see "Master properties" and "Custom properties" of the
master instance when it is dragged and dropped onto the drawing.
