I have a collection of charts and template and stencil that created them in
Visio 2002 Standard. There is a master with database links, with an on drop
event that prompts for the database record. After linking to the data, an
OLE link to a figure file is added, and the two shapes are grouped. There
are many instances of these grouped shapes. This works fine.
I'm having trouble doing a database refresh. If I interactively select a
group shape (or the page) and from the main menus do database refresh,
nothing happens. If I click once to select the group shape and again to
subselect the shape that's linked to the database, then right-click, I can
select refresh and it works for that single shape.
I'm having a very difficult time getting this automated so that it happens
for all shapes when the document is opened, or on demand for all shapes. I
think a lot of this has to do with the grouping. I would greatly appreciate
any clues.
