You can SHELL() any app. If you can have Visio load a file, you can create a command to open both

[dglienna]

Find the command parameter list for VISIO (check online first)

if you can enter on the command line, things will SHELL() the same way.

visio.exe MyFile.vsd

I have Visio 14 (from Office 2010) so I can't help with details that would work with old versions

[dglienna]

Doesn't have much to do with VB6, though.

[dglienna]

You should be able to use SHELL() to open the .VSD file, with no other parameters. If you use ShellExecute(), you can specify the program to open the file with. Visio should be the default in this case

[dglienna]

Put in your Installation disk, and BROWSE for the file. It's part of Visio

Contact MS support by phone
- installation / upgrade issues are usually no charge

If it's locked to the grid size, then either change that, or unlock it.

This isn't really VB6, either

[dglienna]

Control-Click lets you select multiple items, but you still have to follow the grid, or unlock it

[dglienna]

Press F1 for HELP, or choose it from the menu. In the search box, type GRID, and find the information that you need. I usually leave the defaults.

I don't know. Maybe someone else does. Plus, you marked this thread as RESOLVED. You can remove it, if there are related question in the future

Thread is no longer marked as resolved. That can only be done by a moderator

No such thing as trial purchase. You might be able to download a version that runs for 30 days, but I don't know. If you have Office Ultimate 2007, you get it automatically

[dglienna]

Erase them, and draw them again?
