I have a diagram with several hundred objects on a page. External Data is linked to each object. I need to verify that each data item is associated with a Visio object. I can count the number of rows in the External Data file. How do I count the number of objects (with which the data is linked) on the page. The purpose is to verify the numbers are equal (without clicking every data record to see the object to which it is linked). Analogy: Windows Explorer tells you how many files are in a folder.

Your solution will have to be accomplished with custom code ( a macro perhaps). When an object is associated with a datarecord there is a pointer attached to it, all you need to to is loop through the shapes on the page (for each visShape in visPage.shapes) and test to see that one is assigned.
