shape connector information

We are using Visio 2007 to create flowcharts of our business processes. I
have been using the Database Export option in Visio to export the diagram
information. I created my own list of shape relationship information by
parsing the beginx and endx values to derive the shapekey.

Unfortunately, not all connections are being stored to the database with the
export. I have reviewed every row in the export (which in this case is
1,581!) by hand, to see if my perser is the problem, but alas, the
information just isn't there.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a better way to derive the shape
connectors? Please help as I am about to write my own VB code to do the data
export, but for once, am hoping I am doing something wrong.

Visio provides the Connects collection to analyze the glue connections
between shapes. You can find code examples analyzing the connectivity in a
diagram in the Visio SDK.
