I wish to use Visio for process mapping and maintain the created
process tasks in a database.
I have managed to link a "process" shape on a stencil so that it will
is linked to an access database and that the 2 -way update between the
shape and the shape works, I did this using the database wizard .
However...I would like the shape text i.e. the process step name to be
the key in the database I can't see how to get this to work, I can
only make custom properties keys. This seems strange I am sure I am
missing somthing obvious.
Is it possible to seacrh through the external data which is connected
through the data link to shapes option... I'm not sure how useful this
view on external data is unless yoiu can search and then link.
any thoughts
