Visio drawing to auto fill Access database?

[Gretchen Chocensky]

Has anyone ever tried to have access tables read a Visio drawing? My boss
tells me has witness this, but I can't find any reference to it.

Hi Gretchen

I'm not sure what you want to do

What you can do with Visio drawings is
1. Import the whole drawing into a field type OLE object - this stores the drawing within Acces
2. Link a Visio drawing using a Hyperlink field - stores only the filename and pat

What you can't do is evaluate the drawing and it's content - or at last I don't see how, as Visio is only using vector graphic
