Visio 2007 erasing SharePoint metadata
Visio 2007 erasing SharePoint metadata
- Does anyone know what might cause Visio 2007 to overwrite, or rather erase the metadata of a document stored on SharePoint (a WSS 3 machine)? I work in a large department where this is happening for everyone using Visio 2007. A Visio document is on SharePoint, and there is metadata associated with it (some custom fields for categorization). The document opens fine in Visio 2007 for editing. Users can even go into the document properties in Visio and update the metadata. But when the document is saved back to SharePoint, all the metadata is gone.
Visio 2003 does not exhibit this problem (which is what the department is now using), though curiously, neither do Word 2007 or Excel 2007. In the Office 2007 suite, only Visio seems to erase the metadata.
I was just wondering if anyone might know where to look. :-)
Thanks!

- I'm wondering whether this has anything to do with the fact (my assumption) that you are saving the Visio 2007 documents as Visio 2003 format.Try at least to see if this applies equally to Visio 2007 format files in the doc lib and to Visio 2003 format files.

As outlined here: http://blogs.msdn.com/visio/archive/2006/07/07/657375.aspx Visio 2003 and 2007 actually use the same file format (file format v11, apparently). And in fact, the "Save as..." dropdown in Visio 2007 only lists "Drawing (*.vsd)" or "Visio 2002 Drawing (*.vsd)" as options in this regard.
