cannot delete text field
I have a shape group with a sub shape that displays one of the parent shapes custom properties via a custom formula field. I inadvertently added two of the fields so that now the data is displayed twice. When I right click on the extra field in the "Insert Field" dialog there is no drop down menu, just hitting the delete key does nothing. In the shape sheet when I select the corresponding row the delete option on the drop down menu is grayed out? How do I delete this field?

Hey Guy don't abuse of the fresh beer when working on Visio (Dont be angry
i'm jocking)
If you want to delete the custom propertie you must open the custom
properties dialog box (Shape=>Custom properties-Visio 2003 or Data=>Shape
data - Visio 2007 or with the context menu of the shape) and not the insert
field command.
In the shapesheet, to have the delete menu not grayed you must select a
row and not only the custom properties section.
All the best.

how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel?
how to get the number of days between two date formatted fields in vba for excel? Hi Daniel, If they are Excel dates they represent the days and fractional days past Dec 31, 1899 if using the 1900 date system. So if you just have dates they have no fractional components and you just subtract the earlier date from the later date for the number of days.
