Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package
The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package, but was not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  When you run a custom program that uses managed code with a Datagrid control in an Office 2003 program, you may receive an exception error message.

Note Managed code is programming code that is executed by the common language runtime environment instead of directly by the operating system. If you are using Visio 2003 on a computer that does not have Microsoft Office 2003 installed, you can resolve this issue by installing the hotfix that is discussed in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
