Help, cannot import objects from visio

[Art Campbell]

This was reported a couple weeks ago on this and several other FM
sites, just after XP SP3 was released (it includes OLE "fixes)."

Uninstalling SP3 re-enables OLE linking and makes the error messages
go away; keeping it installed keeps it broken. I haven't heard of any
work arounds or that the Microsoft fix is actually broken.

If I were you, I'd print to a PDF from Visio or SaveAs a graphic
format from Visio and import the resulting file as a referenced file
rather than as an object.

Recently, if I try to import an object it lets me, but when I save I get the following error message: "An internal error occurred while writing imported graphics in this document. The file has been saved, but has lost some image data." Although the file does not save.  I can't figure out why this is occurring. No updates have been made to visio or frame that I am aware of so I'm not sure why this process no longer works? Has anybody had this problem. And, if you import flowcharts etc from visio what is the process you use?
