I'm aware this post may be better suited in another forum but I could only find a handful of hits in Google (none of which were specifically related anyway) and didn't really know where to begin.
BUT - under the assumption it is in related to SQL and without any further ado:

I'm trying to link Visio to an SQL datasource via
Data-->Link Data to Shapes-->MSSQL... etc. which all appears to connect up and work fine (I can select the tables I want to use) - but at the last stage it asks me 'What connection do you wish to use', I select the source and it throws the following error:

'Microsoft Office Visio cannot connect to this datasource'
Error 800a0e81: Operation cannot be performed while connecting asynchronously.

Any ideas on what's wrong?
Your assistance would be appreciated...
Cheers
