Visio 2002 web page and Sharepoint
Hello!
I have a Visio drawing that is get custom properties data from Sharepoint list (sharepoint server 2007). I would like to publish the drawing as a web page, and per my understanding is that the web page is 'static'. If some one updates / enters values in the sharepoint list, I would have to open the drawing in visio client, refresh the data and then save it again (and publish it to sharepoint) as a web page. Is there any way to create a scheduled refresh of the webpage from the sharepoint list, say every 4 hours? TIA. |

Visio 2002 web page and Sharepoint
Hi,
This is one of those things that can definitely be done with custom code and it's not trivial to explain how to do that in a forum post even for an experienced programmer. For example, we developed a SharePoint app for Microsoft to use internally that contained a "Draw in Visio" button so that when the SharePoint data changes, the user can generate a new diagram. In that case, it opened in Visio but with additional code it could just as well be generated at a specified time interval and Saved as Web to replace the previous files. That would accomplish what you describe. I wish I could be more helpful from an end user perspective but at least you know it can be done. Brett On Jan 9, 10:37*am, al wrote: Hello!

Thanks Brett! I was thinking that would be the case but was hoping for
a built-in functionality given they are Microsoft products.I will dig into details on how to best resolve this and until then it is going to be a manual process.
