Viewer.Load method (Visio Viewer)

Loads a drawing file into Microsoft Visio Viewer.

Syntax

expression.Load (UrlOrFileName)

expression An expression that returns a Viewer object.

Parameters

Name	Required/Optional	Data type	Description
UrlOrFileName	Required	String	The full path and file name or the URL of the file to be loaded.

Return value

Boolean

Remarks

If the load succeeds, the Load method returns True. The method returns False if the load fails.

To produce a viable diagram in Visio Viewer, the source file loaded must be a Visio drawing file (.vsd or .vdx). The file path may be to a URL as well as to a local or networked file.

If the source file is a multipage document, Visio Viewer displays the page that was active the last time the file was saved in Visio, assuming that the file was not subsequently modified outside of Visio. In that case, Visio Viewer displays either the last active page or the first valid page.

Example

The following code loads a drawing named Shapes.vsd from the local drive into Visio Viewer and returns whether the load was successful.

vsoViewer.Load "C:\Users\User\Shapes.vsd"
