Visio and Access: Populating Shapes?

[TheElephantMan]

Hi, all.

I'm working on a project to build a flow chart of some of our PBX telephone menus. I will be using Visio for this project, and some of the flow chart steps involve voicing announcements at certain points, such as, "For quality purposes, this call may be recorded."

I have an Access database that contains all of these announcements, so I thought it would be a neat trick to link this DB into my Visio flowcharts, so that they dynamically display the contents of the announcements (we change them frequently, so this would cut down on our flowchart maintenance).

I have gone through the steps to link the flowchart to the database, and I can succesfully see database objects in the properties of the shapes. I cannot, however, see them in the regular view of Visio.

Right now, a flow chart "Process" element looks like this:
----------------
| |
| |
| |
----------------

Ideally, I'd like it to look like this:
(These are fields in the database)
----------------
|77 |
|"our call center|
|is closed." |
----------------

How is this accomplished?

Thanks in advance!
