Microsoft Office Visio 2000/2002/2003/2007 or 2010 (Standard or Professional).
The following settings need to be made (they are normally set anyway) in menu Tools - Options:
- VBA enabled in Visio.
- Visio automation events enabled.
Visio 2007/2010 - menu Tools -> Trust Center -> enable the check mark: 'Trust access to the VBA project object model'

Sandrila SDL should work with all language versions of Visio. We only use the International English version for development. Please inform us of any problems with non-English language versions of Visio at email support.
