visio on sharepoint

[a.corrieri]

this is still a follow on to my file exists problem.
I now help myself using

If Documents.CanCheckOut(file)

however now I am in the position that I would like to know the file
modification date. The files are all on sharepoint, to make things difficult,
all of them are on different shared libraries on different sharepoint sites.
So I looked into the sharedworkspace object.
The problem is that from the docs I get the impression, that I only get that
object, if I have an active document, not if I only have the url.

Does anyone knows an object that leads me on the right track, or is it
simply not possible?

I do not know the sharepoint at all, but "Visio IFilter 2003 Add-in: Text
Search in Visio Files" may be a help

unfortunatly this does not solve the problem
I just need to know
1) is the file where my url is pointing to really there (can not reliably do
that right now)
2) is a user working on it right now (can do that)
3) see if it has bee modified since last time (can not read the modification
date yet)

Sharepoint might had such functions.

that's why I asked, I cannot find any VBA front end to sharepoint, nor any
discussion in the forums. Maybe I am looking in the wrong places? And the few
commands available in visio are not helpful. It is interresting to note
however that ALL macros that are file related will fail, when used from a
sharepoint server

How would you like shape studio in Visio SDK, thought the SQL Server is needed.
I have not SQL Server, so I cannot use shape studio.

The information on a Visio.Blog has made me enable to use Shape Studio.
If you download "Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000)
Release A" and install it, you can make use of Shape Studio.

There is a page, "SharePoint and the Visio Viewer - Custom Document Library
Menus" at
http://www.shapesource.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=897 .
The word in the entry is "The goal of this article is to create a custom
document library menu item for each Visio drawing file that displays an entry
"Preview in the Visio Viewer"."

In "contemporary world" everything is about objects, classes, components:
