Hi All: I have to create Visio diagrams for sales engagements for a webhosting provider. I use the same template based on our standard architecture but vary the number/model/detail of the servers. I am sick of the cut-n-paste approach and am wondering who has automated some of these processes. What I would like to do is provide a standard data file (excel, csv, ect..) and have that populate the detailed areas of the diagram. My boss won't pay for any software but I can use open source under XP or cygwin. Thanks, Robert
