SYMPTOMS
When you trigger an event in Microsoft Visio, the event may unexpectedly start another program.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the event uses the RUNADDON function to start a program. The string in the RUNADDON function can be the path, including the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, to any executable program. There is nothing in this protocol that prevents unsafe programs from running.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Visio 2002.
