Hi Al,

I am developing in VB.NET.

I have no problems when saving to a local directory, it only appears to be a
problem when i try to save to a remote location.

in terms of the full code, it is a windows application, with a form that has
the Visio Drawing Control on it. If i change it to save to c:\vsoBlank.vsd
it saves without a problem, but as soon as i change it to a remote location
it gives the error, it doesn't seem to make any sense as when i tried saving
it to a remote location from visio itself it worked.

the whole function looks like this:

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim VisApp As Visio.Application

Dim VisViewer As AxVisOcx.AxDrawingControl

VisViewer = AxDrawingControl1

VisApp = VisViewer.Document.Application

VisApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAsEx("\\server1\sites\mysite\shared
documents\vsoBlank1.vsd", Visio.VisOpenSaveArgs.visSaveAsRO)

End Sub

I have tried using different VisOpenSaveArgs but to no avail, and using none
cause a problem because SaveAsEx is expecting at least one.

I have also tried using SaveAs() and again it failed with the same
problem...

Could not open http://server1/sites/mysite/shared documents/vsoBlank1.vsd.

The only thing i haven't tried and as such will exist in my next attempt
will be to erase the old one... although i believe it will fail as before.
