XML data as input to Visio / VBA

[Lant]

Can Xpath Query be used instead of SQL inside VBA code. I plan to use the
input from the XML to provide intelligent behavior to the shapes during the
drawing process. Was wondering if I could skip the XML to RDBMS translation.

My guess, without fully understanding all of your abbreviations : ), is that
you just need a reference to the right .dll or type library. VBA can refer
to MSXML, but I don't know if Xpath is in there or not.

I have Visio 2003, and my machine has MSXML 5.0 installed. A quick search of
the object model turned up an "errorXPath" property, so maybe you're in
business.
