Visio 2002 pro - Table Entity Question (VBA)

[mad_hatter]

Hi,
I'm new to developing in visio but have an interesting question about
table entitys.

I am reverse engineering a DB, have a page full of tables with indexes,
table names, PKs and fields - everythings good to this point.

-- BUT --

How on earth do I get at the actual physical or conceptual name property
of the table entity via VBA?

I've tried
Debug.Print vsoShape.Name & " " & vsoShape.NameID & " " & vsoShape.NameU

but these just return entitynnn - which is of no use to me.

any help greatly appreciated on this,
Thanks,
MH.

You can use Visio Modeling Engine API to get at those objects. To to that,
you need to add reference to Visio Modeling Engine 2003. To get more detail
on the API, please visit http://www.pdata.com/VME/VisioModelingEngine.htm.

I have tried the link shown in Chang's post but none of the content of
the site except a book teaser is accessible.

You could start from http://www.pdata.com/VME/ObjectModelReference.htm which
is a link found on the page I mentioned in my post.
