Organisation Chart

[Simon Smith]

Hi I've written a solution in VB 6.0 via visio 2000 that
creates org charts and exports them to our intranet. I do
it this way as i have more control over everything

This works fine when you run it from the command line and
you are logged in. (charts are produced and exported)

But when i try to run it via an XML web service (using
shell method) it just hangs, this happens when i try to
bring in the organisation chart template, the server beeps
(no event logs) and i only get an error when i go on the
server and kill the visio task

the web service is set up to run as an authenticated user
exactly the same as when i run via command prompt

could the toolbar or the help prompt (i have ticked the
box to stop them but you never know) that always appears
when using the org chart template be causing this problem
(due to not having a screen )and if so can it be disabled

or does anybody know of another problem

what about vis 2003 does this deal with org chart better
etc.

hi some more info

I used the at command in dos to schedule the task to run
in interactive mode which has allowed me to see the error
which is the organisation chart.vsl cant be found but when
i run it as a cmd prompt it finds it ???
i use the line
arg_visioapp.Documents.Add("Organization Chart.vst") to
open the template.
i tried a full path as well


any ideas plse
