Thanks for the help this is what I needed. The visio macro that I am running
is being called from an excel macro from a file that is the active workbook
so everything should be okay, but it could be a problem.

Thanks again.

I want to drop a shape on a visio drawing using vba in visio or excel. If I
use the macro in Visio I want to get the name of the shape to drop from a
cell on a worksheet or from a variable name in an excel macro. Can anyone
help? Thanks.
