    Editing Visio drawing in Form view

    So I'm trying to embed a Visio drawing within an Access form. I know that you can change the Visio drawing when it is in Design view, but is it possible to have the drawing editable in the Form view so that users can't change up anything else in the Form?

    I don't see how edits can be done from within Access at all.

    Maybe the behavior with Word described in http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/edi...word-document/ can be replicated from Access.

    I expect VBA could open the Visio app and drawing and programmatically perform edits.

    Figured it out.

    So all I did was go to the property sheet of my Visio object, clicked out 'Data', and on the row that says 'Enabled', I entered 'Yes'. So simple

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
