Displaying database information on Visio shapes

J

Jesse Avilés

I have custom shapes on a Visio drawing that represent
sampling points. On an Access databse I have the
sampling results. I have made the relationship from the
drawing to the database. I want to be able to show
various fields from the database on the drawing. I am
selecting a shape, inserting a field from the insert menu
and selecting the information to add. However I can only
add one field per shape and the text comes out vertically
(the shape is not big enough to accomodate the text and I
cant make the shape bigger). I think that I would need
to create the shape anew and add some text field outside
the shape (like the generator shape from the shop floor
stencil) and I dont know how to do that or make
information from the database visible in Visio. Thanks
for your help.
