VISIO HELP!

[bcap]

Hi,

I am interested in using Visio to create an ORG Chart. I would like
to make this web based as I will create an application interface to
manage any changes or additions and use a query to update the chart.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make this work "real-time" so if
information is changed in my database that it will automatically
update the web page?

Currently, I have to manually reimport the data everytime I want to
make a change.

Also, I am using ASP technology and using an inc file as my header.
For some reason, when I use the inc, the chart I make does not work
with it. Any ideas?

Thank you kindly,

Ray

You are unclear about how interactive you need the OrgChart to be.
If you only want the OrgChart to be regenerated whenever the data changes in
the database, then consider using the command line options.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/HP010384221033.aspx
You could then automate the publishing to web.

Hi,

Can you tell me how I could automate the web publishing part?

Well, the SaveAsWeb has an (almost) full API:

Hi,

I am still struggling with this.

I can get orqwiz to generate the file with updated information but
cannot get it to convert into an HTM file doing the process.

I have also created a VSD and created an AddOn (See below), which
produces the last recordset. How can I get this to automatically
update and open with the newest data?

Private Sub Document_DocumentOpened(ByVal doc As IVDocument)

Application.Addons("SaveAsWeb").Run "/quiet=True /target=C:\test.htm"
Me.Close

End Sub


Thank you,

Ray

Nothing like this is going to happen automatically, you'll have to
setup a menu or a button or something to initiate the action.
