Control checkbox form field in word with report generation toolkit for Microsoft office
Hi all,
Happy New Year!
I insert in the word template the check box form field. It has a bookmark name "Check1".
Now I'm trying to checked or unchecked this field using the report generation toolkit for Microsoft office and I couldn't. If anyone now how to do it? I'm using LabView 8.0
Thanks in advance,
Boris

Boris,
The Microsoft Office Toolkit does not have support for checking/unchecking check box forum field. You would have to research the activex functionality that enables this to be checked or unchecked and then do the activex calls yourself. I did hear of one csutomer who used a special font to write a blank box or a checkbox into a word document and changed it that way as well.
Maybe http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53715 gives a hint to an activex reference

Problem with Reporte Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 2010
When I use the Report Generation Toolkit (LabVIEW 2010), and Office 2010, the tables generated are bad.
In office 2007 in the tables are correct.
Someone can help me solve this problem?The solution referenced in your post does not actually workas far as I can tell... at least for LV2011 and Office2010 on Win7
Am I missing something here?

Font Issue with Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office
I have been using this toolkit for only a few days now, but I just have to get this issue off my back. When developing a toolkit it would be a good idea to use the same cluster to represent fonts in ALL places. If you look at "Excel Set Graph Font" vs. "Excel Easy Table" they take two completely different clusters. Why? I don't know, but it is *very* annoying.
How could something like this slip through the cracks? Is there some reason why there is this discrepancy? From my perspective as a software engineer I see no excuse, but maybe someone else can justify this oversight for me. I just hope that I don't find any more issues with the toolkit...
Naveen.Naveen,
what you said is true when dealing with same kind of objects, but in this circumstance, different cluster defines the font of a differnt object. For example, you may not want the user have as many options with defining the font for the X Y axis title as that for defining the text in the table. This is ture when you want your generated report to have similiar styles.
But this is certainly something we will think about, thanks for your constructive suggestion,

How to obtain the table index in word use LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office
I created a word templete and it had several tables. When I use the "Word Edit Cell" function in LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office, the function need "table index", and I didn't find any function to get or set the table index in word document. How can I achieve my attention to write value to specified table cell using the "Word Edit Cell" function?
Thanks for reply!
YangAfreetHi yangafreet
You do not need to get the table index for the word edit cell.vi from anywhere. LabVIEW will automatically index all the tables in the document. See the attatched vi for an example.

I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jason P
Jason PhillipsLookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

Hi!
One question. I have bought the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office
Version 1.0a and am trying to install it under Labview 7.1 but the installation stops with the error: "you need a Labview Version 6.0 runtime engine." Is there any possibility to install the toolkit anyway?
Regards
StefanHi
You can try to update your Version 1.0 to Version 1.0.1. Then it should be working.
Here ist the link for the free update:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/19003CF70BB8A57186256E5A00672E2A?opendocument
if it not works you can try to install the runtime engine 6.0 on your system. her is the link:

Add Report Generation toolkit for Microsoft Office in exe
Hi
I am having a problem. I am using LabVIEW 8.20, Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2 and Microsoft Excel 2003. My OS is Windows XP (SP )
I want to build the vi attached below into an exe. The vis that I used are from addons>>_office>>excel.llb. I follow the suggestion found in the link below and add in all the files in excel.llb into my project so that it can be added into the executable as dynamic vis. However, some vis in excel.llb cannot be added into my project. After I have add all vis that can be added into the project, I build an application (exe) with the vi below as the Main vi and all other added vis (from excel.llb) as dynamic vis. After that, I build and run this exe on the same PC. I am unable to run it.
This vi will save datas when I click on the stop button. After I click on the stop button, a window will pop-up and prompt me to select which directory to save the vi. When I run the exe, I type in test.xls (for example) but the file saved is a picture and not an excel file. If I just run the vi instead of the exe, Excel will open and datas and graph will be displayed in Excel.
May I know where did I done wrong??
How do I use the Report Generation Toolkit in an executable with Microsoft Excel?

I have downloaded the LV Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office for evaluation with LabVIEW 2010. The examples for the Help get many errors, including "The subVI is not executable. You must fix all errors in the subVI before this VI can run." and "This VI or item belongs to a library that is expired or invalidly licensed".
I selected that I wanted to evaluate the toolkit instead of putting an activation code during installation. Installation went OK.
How can I get the examples in this LV Toolkit to Run so that I can evaluate it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Also when I place the MS Office Report function in my block diagram, I get: "Unable to View Properties" popup message and no Contextual Help on the function.

National Instruments releases LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.
The new LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office is a library of flexible, easy-to-use tools for programmatically creating and editing Microsoft Word and Excel reports from LabVIEW. Whether you need to generate reports summarizing manufacturing test results or compile process statistics to improve your production yields, this toolkit speeds your development of customized, professional reports.
To see examples of this toolkit or get more information please visit :
http://www.ni.com/labview/report_gen_toolkit.htmIt is a bit limiting though. I built my own set of VI's, a toolkit if you will, that does some of what this tookit does. But, I also wrote some functionality that isn't available in NI's kit, such as creating charts as separate worksheets and linking the charts to data on another worksheet. All in all, the toolkit is great, but you can't get as much out of it as you can using the ActiveX calls yourself.

Install of Report Generation Toolkit without Microsoft Office previously installed.
After installing "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" on a computer without Microsoft Office I noticed that the Report Generation VI palette does not include the "Excel & Word" specific VI's, even though I have "Excel & Word" installed. Is there any way to "activate" those VI's without installing "Microsoft Office?" If the answer is no and I do install "Microsoft Office" will those VI's become available on the Report Generation VI palette? Or will a reinstall of the "LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office Version 1.1.3" be required?

OK any question? Install the specific Office version and if that doesn't change the registery keys that NI is depending on reinstall the LV Add-on. Of course NI, software tool-kits check registered software! Why install a "for Office" package that is unusable or (worse from a litigation point) includes functionality for unlicensed or pirated "Office" installations. Again- "*xx For (R) Office xx*" means they have gone through some licensing agreement.

Hi all,
I am having trouble locating a LabVIEW Toolkit. Could somebody please send me a link to somewhere where I can download the eval version of the Report Generator Toolkit for Microsoft Office for LabVIEW 2013 64bit.?
Thank you in advance,
BobYes here is the 2013 version.
http://download.ni.com/evaluation/labview/ekit/other/downloader/2013RGT_downloader.exe
And here is the 2014 version.
http://ftp.ni.com/evaluation/labview/ekit/other/downloader/2014RGT_downloader.exe
I believe both are for 32 bit LabVIEW, which works in both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows. Honestly until all toolkits support 64 bit Windows, I still don't see much of a reason to go with 64 bit LabVIEW. The support is just better with 32 bit.

Hi all,
I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1. I have done a TestStand sequence with a VI in it, which uses Report Generation Toolkit elements. On my machine I am using LabVIEW and TestStand with a Development System license. On the other machine I am using TestStand with a Base Deployment license and I have chosen the LabVIEW 8.5 Run-Time Engine in the Adapter Configuration. Everything is running well except of this VI with Report Generation Toolkit elements. The error message is showing that the VI is not executable. It works well only after I have installed LabVIEW with an Evaluation license and chosen LabVIEW 8.5 Development System in the Adapter Configuration.
I have found other posts and a document in the KnowledgeBase with a similar problem: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8A0E6274D9BD7B1986256F62006AD402?OpenDocument But I am not using EXE files in my sequence, so I don't know how to solve mine. Anybody has an idea?

@Ruediger:
I tried to follow the instruction for Method 2 in the mentioned document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/F3DC40A6E3F3B25B862570AD005D1D3D?OpenDocument, but the steps on my machine are different starting from step 4. After I click "Continue..." in step 3, I dont get a window, the system just makes a new folder with the same VI.
To be honest, I am new to LabVIEW and have some difficulties at this time. What I understood from your reply is, that I need to make a LLB-File, where the files from Report Generation Toolkit are in!?
@GovBob:
I was following the instruction in the document: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9E00E7EFE0635E678625734600779EFE, but it wasnt working. Can you please tell me how I can check if the VI Server is installed and running on the machine?
I am using LabVIEW 8.5.1 and TestStand 4.1 on my machine, on the deploy machine there is TestStand 4.1.1. The version of my Report Generation Toolkit is 1.1.2.
