Visio2002: Flow Chart Report Duration Values Displayed in Incorrect Units (293180)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visio 2002 Standard
  • Microsoft Visio 2002 Professional
This article was previously published under Q293180

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Flow Chart Report, if you use 'd' as the unit to represent days in a Duration field, Microsoft Visio displays the data in decimal inches, rather than in units of duration.

CAUSE

By default, the custom Duration property of the basic flowchart shapes uses the data type Number, instead of Duration.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, change the Type setting of the custom Duration field to Duration, instead of Number (the default). To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the target shape, point to Shape, and then click Custom Properties on the shortcut menu.
  2. Click Define.
  3. In the Properties list, click Duration.
  4. In the Type list, change the setting from Number to Duration.
  5. Click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
