I have been working on a very large network diagram that is over 30mb in
size. I had been using Visio 2000 and decided to upgrade to 2003. Big
mistake. The first time I opened the 2000 drawing with 2003 it seemed to
work fine, when I saved it I chose to save in "2003" format. Next time I
opened it I can't click on anything. I get an error "An error (1415) has
occured during the action Open Object. Visio is unable to edit the Visio
object."
I did some searching and quickly found this was an Microsoft issue (big
surprise). They said open it with the earlier version of Visio, save it as a
..vsd file, then reopen it within 2003. Well, how am I suppose to open a 2003
file with Visio 2000? So I saved the document as a 2002 file, installed
Visio 2000 on another machine, opened the 2002 format file, saved it as a
..vsd file. Opened that with 2003, same error. I have tried saving the file
as a 2002 file, I have even installed Visio 2002 on another machine and
nothing is working. I'm very frustrated with MS and wonder why I upgraded at
all. This is a huge drawing and recreating it is just not an option. Right
now I want to grab someone at Microsoft by the throat. Can anyone offer any
other ideas of how I can get it so I can click on the objects again?
