This happens when attempting to copy a visio file to
word, wheter link, embedded or picture.
Then is brings up Task Msnager.
What is is trying to tell me?

We have the same problem on a Windows XP / Office 2002 / Visio 200
configuration. Did you get an answer already ? I would like to know a
well.
Thanks in advance...

This seems to be related to a known problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832129

I don't want to pay for the hotfix, though. Anyone got a workaround to get
it without going through MS Support?

Thanks,

Tom

Whoops. I read a little further down the page and found that it's a MS Server
2003 patch, not a patch for Word or Visio. My bad.
