Foreground color of the fill pattern of a shape appears grey instead of yellow after you specify a formula in the FillForegnd cell in Visio 2003 (831067)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003
  • Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you use the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) function to set the foreground color of the fill pattern of a shape to yellow, the color of the fill pattern is not yellow as expected. Instead, the color of the fill pattern is grey.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the FillForegnd cell of the shape's ShapeSheet is set to use the following string as a formula:

"RGB(0,255,255)"

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the following formula in the FillForegnd cell of the shape's ShapeSheet:

RGB(0,255,255)

Do not use a string as a formula in the FillForegnd cell. Use only the formula itself in the FillForegnd cell.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
