SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you use the Organization Chart Wizard to create an organization chart from data that is stored in a Microsoft Exchange Server directory, you may find that some names are imported to the organization chart and some names are not. When you click I want the wizard to automatically break my organization chart across pages, and then you type the name of the person who you want to add in the Name at top of page box, you receive the following error message:
Employee name "Name" is not in your organization data.
You receive this error message even if the name of the person who you want to import is in your organization data.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if both of the following conditions are true:
  • The person who you want to import to your organization chart does not have any other person in the organization that reports directly to him or to her.
  • The person who you want to import to your organization chart does not report to another person in the organization.
In this situation, the Organization Chart Wizard displays an incorrect error message and does not give you an option to add that name to the organization chart.

STATUS

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