EMERGENCY... CORRUPT VISIO FILE
I'm working in Visio. As I completed a page, my computer freezes.. I have to shut down and reboot. When I get everything back up, I try to dbl click my icon on the desktop to my project and it tells me this:
"An error (100) occurred during the action Open File.
Visio cannot open the file becuase it's not a Visio file."
Once I select ok I get this message twice:
"Visio cannot open the file becuase it's not a Visio file."
????
I'm very, very peeved right now because I have about 6 weeks worth of work in that file..
Thanks...

yep. I've also tried to transfer the file to another folder, computer, etc. nothing....
maybe a copy of the file?
or go to the directory where you opened/saved the drawing and rename the ~yourdrawingfile.tmp file to yourdrawingfile.vsd. just change the extension from .tmp to .vsd and remove the ~ sign.
