Will an update to Visio be issued in the near future?

I would prefer not to use a third-party tool, altough it is interesting that DataAssist is quicker than MS.

I still cannot get FireFox 2 to display this zoom and pan functionality. I replaced href with style="cursor:pointer;" in the vml webpages and this allowed the zoom and pan functionality to work in IE7. Any ideas?

Hello!

I was referred today by a customer because of this error. This customer made the decision for Visio because Visio is an Microsoft product. He hoped to get no difficulties with updates of Visio and the IE!

This customer bought 12 licenses of Visio 2003 this year and stored almost 1000 Visio files as HTML sides. The solutions represented above are not acceptable and too expensive for the customer.

Not only that many customers particularly bought visio for creating HTML-sides but also Microsoft recommened to update XP computers to IE 7!

Are there statements of Microsoft whether a Patch for Visio 2003 is to be provided?

From my view this is only acceptable and reasonable way to solve this problem.

Could we *please* get a timeline for a Visio patch?

Hi everyone,

Your queries are not going unheard, but there is no information to provide about a timeline for a patch.

Sorry that I couldn't be of more assistance.

How difficult can it be to release a patch?

From what I can see, Very easy.

The patch provided by Senaj Lelic, DataAssist e. K. does not work for me. I corrected the VML files manually and linking to doc files worked fine. Linking to Excel files however, resulted in an OK-box with a message saying that the file could not be found. Still, when OK-ing, the correct file appeared. Anyone know of a fix to this?

This is an embarrassment for Microsoft, not being able to provide a simple patch to their own program.

Microsoft's focus is evidently the new Visio release and not their existing customers.

We have now used the patch provided by DataAssist and it works perfectly. Many thanks to Senaj Lelic for helping us out.

This is really unacceptable. Didn't Microsoft do enough testing before they released IE7 - or couldn't they then bring out a patch together with the new IE7 if they knew that this could cause problems? And yes - how long does it take for these guys to bring out a new patch?! I didn't expect that from Microsoft!
