SUBJECT: Tools advisory: RMIM Designer in Visio and Visio 2003

 

The HL7 graphic RMIM Designer tool runs as a set of code within Visio.  To date, the developers of this tool have sought to support recent and current releases of Visio, and I know of no plans to change this.

 

Be advised, however, that the current and near-term releases of the tools have NOT been tested with Visio 2003, AND at least one user has reported errors that prevented him from using Visio 2003.  At this point, we have no developers who can commit to review this problem and undertake to correct it.

 

Thus, until further notice, assume that the RMIM Designer will NOT run successfully in Visio 2003.  If any among you plan to upgrade to Visio 2003, have some Visual Basic experience, AND would like to undertake to test this conversion and correct the problems, please contact me.  After all, what else is there to do during the holiday season?

 

A version of this note will also appear on the HL7 web-site from which these tools are downloaded.

 

Yours .... Woody Beeler
