Default Visio Internal Error:#3400 Action 1004: Save

Hello, I know this is an old post, but I was having this error as well. I
was linking external data (in Excel) to Visio shapes. It worked and saved
fine until I added a new row to my Excel file that had a negative value in
it. As soon as I took out the value in the Excel file it worked perfectly.

I still don't get the error when saving, based on your steps here's what I
did on my Windows XP machine:

1. Start Visio Professional 2003, click on the File menu, point to New,
click New Drawing (US Units)
2. Click on the File menu, point to Shapes, point to Electrical
Engineering, click Fundamental Items (US Units). Drag and drop a Resistor
shape from the Shapes window onto the middle of the page.
3. Click the File menu and click Save, Save in: My Documents, File name:
Test1, Save as type: Drawing (*.vsd), click the Save button.
4. Click on the Insert menu and click Object..., under 'Object type' click
Microsoft Equation 3.0, make sure Create new is selected and Display as
icon is unchecked. Click OK.
5. Click on Greek characters (uppercase), click I, click on the File menu,
and click Save.

The drawing saves without error.


In Visio, under the Help menu, click About Microsoft Office Visio. You
should see a number in parenthasis like (11.8161.8172) SP3. If you don't
see SP3, then you're not on any service pack. Also, confirm that you have
Equation Editor 3.1 by inserting a new Microsoft Equation, and clicking on
the Help menu and clicking About Microsoft Equation Editor.
