SR2 Breaks "Save As HTML" ??

[SteveH]

Hi all,

I was having trouble inserting an extended URL as a
Hyperlink on an object (eg: Address "http://web.page?
arg=whatever"). When I searched at www.microsoft.com, I
couldn't find anything relevant except that SR2 was
available, so I downloaded and installed it. Now, I can't
save as HTML at all! When I try I get an error message:

"An error (917) occurred during the action ???. Identify
the file type you are exporting."

I haven't been able to find any help, either in the
Documentation or MSKB.

Does anyone know how I can at least be able to save as
HTML again? Anyone know how to fix the original problem?

Cheers
Steve

OK, so I should have restarted my PC after installing the Service
Pack! That got "Save as HTML" working again, but I've still got the
original issue.

If I look in the generated XML, there is a tag "<HLURL:Address>" which
contains the URL minus the "?arg=whatever" part, then a few lines
later there's another tag <HLURL:AbsoluteURL> which contains the full
extended URL. If I replace the contents of the <HLURL:Address> tag
with the contents of the <HLURL:AbsoluteURL> the resulting XML works
quite well, and the full extended URL is passed.

The trouble is that I anticipate having several hundred extended URLs
across a few dozen HTML pages, so to edit the XML manually in every
case simply isn't an option.

Does anyone know what causes this? I'd really hate to have to write
something to re-process the XML that's been written......

Hi Steve,

Does this KB article titled - Visio2002: Hyperlinks to Bookmarks or
Sub-Address Locations Are Not Exported Correctly by "Save as Web Page" -
and the workarounds described, help address the issue you're seeing?
