Hey all, I have a nifty Visio doc that uses Stencils from Dell to show our Racks of Dell equipment and it includes all the normal Dell properties like Service Tags, key Warranty dates, etc.  I push that out to a website using HTM output and it works really really well.  I'd now like to get that data that is in all those shapes and pull it out into SQL or Excel, anything.  I am having trouble figuring this out, however.  It seems as if I can feed the shapes data from SQL or Excel, but can't get the data out of the Visio doc. 

I can code a solution if anyone knows a way in C# to do this without totally reinventing the wheel here!

So is there a way to pull that data out?

Thanks,
Joe

View -> Macros -> Addons -> Visio Extras -> Export to Database

or create a report

View -> Macros -> Addons -> Run Addons -> Reports

Impossible to find if you don't know they are there.

You're absolutely right, thanks SO much!

Joe
