Auotomating Visio

[chmanish]

Hi gurus,

I enacountered a strange problem while using Visio for drawing Flowcharts. The stencil name for the basic flowchart on my m/c is basflo_m.vss. But on another m/c it is basflo_u.vss. Visio 2003 was intalled on both the machines. Version of Visio is same for both machines. My machine is having Win 2000 and the other one is having Win XP. Can this be the reason of problem.

I found out this -

The name of the stencil for Basic Flowchart shapes may vary from version to version and even on different installations of the same versio. But Visio uses the concept of PublishComponents to resolve the stencil name from a prespecified list of alternate names.
