Hello Bill,

You could add a User cell to each shape (or Master) and then run your
procedure to update this with the connected shape names prior to running
your report.

Take a look at this DVS section on adding Custom Property / User cells:

Hello,

I posted once but got an error - I apologize if we end up with two.

I have installed the SDK, looked at the doc and ran the example. All was
very helpful in my understanding of Connects, etc. The problem is that I
think the VB code is more than I need. I think what I need if to get
FromSheet and ToSheet onto a report (along with other info). I ran the
sample code which prints them to the debug window, which was great, but I
really just want it to show up on a regular report.

I think if I can figure out how to add these to the shapesheet I will be
one
step closer to getting them on a report. I cannot figure out how to get
them
in the shapesheet however. Any further help you can offer will be very
much
appreciated. Thanks again.

Theoretically, you could use the reports tool to merge two XML outputs,
transformed by an XSLT file into a proper report. Not done it myslef
yet....

The Visio SDK has a Code snippet "Drawing Navigator Using Connections"
which
should get you started on reading connections.

Hello,

I am a strong basic user of Visio (2002), but I have not done anything
with
my own macors.

I need to develop a diagram that will contain processes and dependent
relationships between processes (as connections). I hope to create a
report
that will show me the processses and their custom properties (I can do
this
already) and the relationships. I am also hoping to report on the
dependency
in the via the begin and end of the connection.

A simple example would be two processes A and B with B being dependent
on
A.
I would like to create a diagram with A and B and a dynamic connection
between them beginning at A and ending at B. I would them like a
report
that
shows each process (and its custom properties), and I would like the
report
to also include the relationships. In this example I would like to
report
that process B is dependent on A.

I am fine with reporting on the processes, it is the
relationship/dependencies as represented by the connectors that I am
having
trouble representing. Can anyone help? I appreciate any advice you
might
offer. Thanks.
