ssimlai Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) Last night, working from a laptop I saved work on my 70 MB Visio 2000 file residing on a USB hard disk. Once the file closed after saving, I clicked to close the Visio program. Then I removed the USB connection of the USB hard disk from the laptop. Immediately the machine came up with a message saying that the visio file has not been saved! I was surprised but did nothing to check as it was too late.This morning the file would not open. I checked the Microsoft website and performed all possible operations they suggested therein. Nothing would open the file. I copied, renamed, moved to another drive, another location, another computer...nope!The message that comes up is: "Visio Internal Error #3400; Action 1283: Open File. First try closing and reopening the file. Next try restarting Visio".I could not find any utilities on the internet that can repair the corrupted visio file, assuming it is corrupt (as per Microsoft website).Any help such that I do not have to go about recreating the complete file (takes 2 weeks - too elaborate) for my home studio?

ssimlai Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 No I couldn't solve it and gave up. I got rid of Visio 2000 and moved to SmartDraw, tried it out for a month and then went back to Visio 2007. That was because I needed Visio type of working. If you don't, Smartdraw is quite good though a few operation shortcomings are there - they are surely trying to solve it. And their support is good.But I lost the file and have created it again. That reminds a lesson - backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basheer Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Thanks for your feedback. I was not so impressed about the smartdraw before. May be they hav improved in the latest versions. I would give a try. Thanks againBasheer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
