Why =RUNADDON("msgbox ""hallo""") doesn't work?

[Mosca]

Why =RUNADDON("msgbox ""hallo""") in TheText Event Cell doesn't work when I
go to change text of the shape?

Thanks 1000

Which version of Visio are you using? "In-line" VBA code in ShapeSheet cells
stopped working in Visio 2002, due to security concerns.

More here:

From the horse's mouth:

Note The changes made in Visio 2002 prevent the RUNADDON function from
accepting arbitrary VBA code as an argument, or accepting calls to
procedures with arguments.
