Visio2000: Error Message: A list Cannot Be Generated Because No Valid Data Exists for the Selected List Form (254724)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visio 2000 Technical Edition
This article was previously published under Q254724

SYMPTOMS

When you try to generate a valve list form from the sample diagram in the Process Engineering samples folder, you may receive the following error message:
A list cannot be generated because no valid data exists for the selected list form.

CAUSE

The sample diagram "SamplePID1.vsd" is part of the Process Engineering project in the Visio\Samples\Process Engineering\Process Engineering Project folder. You receive the error message if you start the file separately from the Process Engineering project. This is because the project, not the file, contains the component data.

RESOLUTION

To generate a valve list, open the sample Process Engineering project first.

To generate a valve list form from the SamplePID1.vsd diagram:

  1. Open Sample Project.vsd in the Visio\Samples\Process Engineering\Process Engineering Project folder.
  2. In the Project Explorer, double-click samplePID1.
  3. On the Process Engineering menu, point to Lists, and then click Generate Lists.
