LastSavedBy Field in Visio
Is there a way to implement a LastSavedBy field in Visio (I am using 2003)?
The only field I can find is "Creator".

There's a DOCLASTSAVE () function you can use. If you're using the Field
dialog (Insert / Field...) just select custom formula and add:
=DOCLASTSAVE()

Thank everyone, but looking for LastSavedBy (Last Author). I've read a lot of
discussion groups on this and cannot find the answer. All I want to do is
document the last Author in a field like you can do in Word. Regards, Derek

The short answer is that Visio does not track who the users are and that
custom code is required to put the data into the document. Thus the pointer
to the vba example on Chris Roths site.

Actually, it is not really hard to do.
What is needed is a user exit attached to the Save that will write the
current author (user name) to the Shape Data in the documents Shapesheet. If
the Shape Data does not exist, it can be created. So all that is really
needed is a single routine. To use the information on the page, all that is
needed is an Insert Field referencing thenew shape data in the document
shapesheet.
