Re: database properties

This info is officially not published, but you might be able to dig around
and find something. The places I'd look are:

- Window > Show Shape*** for every shape. Not sure how much info is stored
there.
- Look for SolutionXML in the document. (check out the developer's help for
'SolutionXML')
- Look at the local document stencil for the master "Database Model". This
is probably some sort of COM object, "bit bucket" that stores the model
data. You can access the object like this:

Visio.ActiveDocument.Masters("Database model").Shapes(1).Object

This thing is some sort of COM or ActiveX control, and I have no idea if or
how you can look into it. If there are tools for discovering this, or
somehow generating the type library for it, then you might be in luck.

I'm at the edge of my knowledge, so good luck!
