Getting "Save File" permission message related to Report Generation Toolkit

I started having this problem about a month ago.  It does not affect the operation of my project but is a minor nuisance, but a nuisance none the less.  I opened a couple of Excel Specific VIs.  I did not nor did I attempt to make any changes, I was just curious as to their content (truth is I wanted to see how the active X controls were being used).  Ever since then I get the attached messages when saving my project and have not been able to get rid of it.  When OK is pressed, a Save As dialog box appears (see attached) pointing to the NI directory which contains the Excel VIs for the Report Generation Toolkit.  I press cancel and am able to save my project VIs just fine, but I would like to get to the bottom of this problem.
I would not think that simply opening a VI would cause this behavior.  I should also mention, it not only attempts to save the VIs I opened, but every RGT VI that is a part of my project, which is even stranger.  I have not attempted a reinstall.  I was hoping for something a little less drastic, and that won't prevent this from happening again, unless I can kill my curiousity that is. Is there a setting somewhere which I am missing?  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

It did not work.  In fact, it called out four bad VIs (see attached).  But I think this is probably normal behavior.  All the VIs in question are broken due to an unwired input on the bundle.  The bundle is the only thing in these VIs.  Could you please verify that this is the case.  It said the mass compile was complete and I am assuming that it did compile the rest of the VIs, correct?  Unfortunately I am still getting the same message.  Do you have any other ideas?  Anyone?  Thanks again for your assistance.

  • Built labview report generation toolkit cannot run

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to ask some questions on report generation toolkit:
    The program works well in developing mode.
    Then I can build the program into *.exe file.
    However, all functions related to report generation toolkit are not working after I built them into *.exe file.
    (i.e. The program can control equipments and calculate, but cannot open an excel report and write something in it.)
    There are no errors when building the program.
    Is there something wrong with the toolkits or is there some advance settings?
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • How to get data from an existing Excel file using report generation toolkit

    I'm trying to use the Excel Get Data vi from the report generation toolkit, but i can't figure out how to turn a browsable path into the right type for the VI.  I've tried using the New Report.vi, but that doesn't work unless you use a template.  It won't open an existing excel file and make it an open report to pull data from.
    Essentially, i have a bunch of excel files that have data in them and i want to use a VI to analyze the data.  So, i'm trying to pull in all the data directly from the excel file so i don't have to reproscess them all into text so i can use the more standard spreadsheet VIs.  But to even convert the excel file programtically in labview won't i still need to be able to open the excel file and get the data?
    Solved!

    I C.
    Got it,
    the reason why I can view it using my Excel file because its in .CSV.
    I open Microsoft Excel to open .CSV file.
    But you can also open .csv file with notepad.
    So, you cannot open .xls with Read Spreadsheet File

  • Couldn't Save File - Error Message

    Recently after adding a few more pages and updating some existing pages on my site, I have been met with an error saying I cannot save my website using the save function of iWeb, I receive the "Couldn't Save File" error message, however it doesn't tell me what file can't be saved or what file might be missing. I am running verision 1.1.2. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Dear DOHCVTEC187:
    I had that same error. iWeb would open with a "can't open file :unamed" error, and also would give me a "can't save" error. I searched on the discussions, and found a few things that might help.
    First, save/backup your Domain. That is where iWeb saves all that cool web info. It should be located in:
    <user>/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    I try to make a back up this when ever I make big changes anyways. Alway a good idea. Burn it to Disk, put it on another HD. Etc. Then delete the original, leaving the folder empty.
    Second:
    Trash iWeb preferences, located:
    <user>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist
    Now, use Disk utility to repair permissions. I do this as a helpful step.
    Then restart.
    After restarting, open up iWeb. Hopefully it opens with out the error, since we are starting from "scratch". It should ask for you to create a new page/ new site. ie, remaking a "domain". Make a singe page. Save and then quit iWeb. It should run smoothly.
    Now, go find that "new" domain you just made, and replace it with your old one.
    That should help.
    Also, one thing that I found when this error happened to me was that I had built links to documents , such as PDF for people to download. Thus the error "couldn't open, unnamed" etc. It was because those links were "broken", so I had to find each link that I pointed to a PDF, and double check that it was still working and pointed to the correct file. Could be a pain in the but if you have alot of PDF's, etc, but it was worth it.
    Hope this helps!

  • File Dialog and Report Generation Toolkit

    Hi,
    I designed a VI for an electrometer calibration and it works quite well The only problem I have is the following:
    I used the Report Generation Toolkit to put the measurement data in an Excel file. When I run the VI I'd like a window to pop up to define the location and name of the Excel report file. If these two things are done LabVIEW should create the specified Excel file and run the rest of the code.
    So i tried this with the "File Dialog" Vi and all the needed low-level File I/O VIs and it worked.
    But when i connect the "File Dialog" VI with the "New Report" VI of the Report Generation Toolkit I get an error message.
    Is there any solution to get this file dialog pop up window with the Report Generation VIs?
    thx for any help...!

  • Report Generation Toolkit - Error message rpcrt4.dll

    Hello
    My labview app. calls functions from the Report Generation Toolkit. I tested the runtime version, and this work fine under in Windows NT and Windows 2000, but does not work under Windows 98. I got and error message say "rpcrt4.dll Page not valid" that seem come from Windows and is related to a Remote Procedure Call. I already check the version of this dll 4.71.2900

    The rpcrt4.dll is part of the DCom98 package. I have seen other problems, unrelated to LabVIEW, with this .dll arise when other programs have installed different versions of some of the DCom DLLs. You may want to consider trying this program out on another Win98 machine, or you may want to search through the Microsoft Support page for errors with this dll, specifically with the error number in the message you receive. The ones that I have seen have suggested restoring the DCom dlls to the original ones from the Win98 disk. There is also an update to the DCom components for Windows 98 (version 1.3) on the Microsoft website.

  • Path to save problem in report generation toolkit

    Hi,
    I am newbie in LabVIEW. I am using MS Office Report.VI from Report Generation Toolkit, and I want to let the user to choose the save location for the report. I tried to wire path control to "Path to Save Report" input on MS Office Report.VI . But It doesn't work, It seems like the destination choosen from path is overlapping with the base file destination on "Configure Save to file options".
    How do resolve this issue??
    Thanks

    You are using an express vi hence you are limited in options. Express vis are a good starting point but if you need to customise , you may need to use individual vis.
    Try searching for 'office' in example finder (Help >> Find Examples), you will find a lot of them, chose one that suits you.
    Hope this helps.

  • File name collision during build that includes Report Generation toolkit. How to correct?

    When I switched to LV 8.6 (it's also in 8.6.1) I started getting a file name collision warning when building an installer that included the Report Generation toolkit. The executable works, but I don't like to leave warnings uninvestigated. I don't understand 1) why it's happening now and 2) what it's recommending for the fix. Here's part of the actual warning it gives.
    LabVIEW prevented a file name collision during the
    build. Duplicate file names cannot be copied to the same destination. You can
    rename files as part of the build process to avoid name conflicts.
    The following files were moved to a unique
    location:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
    8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append Control Image to Report.vi
    C:\Program
    Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\HTML\Append
    Control Image to Report.vi
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
    8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append File to Report.vi
    C:\Program
    Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\HTML\Append
    File to Report.vi
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW
    8.6\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Append Horizontal Line to Report.vi...........

    Hi GS,
    The architecture of the Report Generation Toolkit was changed in LabVIEW 8.6 to utilize LabVIEW Classes.  As such, there are some warnings during an EXE build because the class VIs have identical names.  Classes were not used in the toolkit in LabVIEW 8.5 and previous...that's why you didn't see any warnings during the build until now.
    Your EXE should still function properly, and you shouldn't have to change anything about your build.  The purpose of the warnings is to let you know that the duplicate-named VIs needed to be handled differently during the build.

  • Open an existing Excel file created by Report Generation Toolkit

    How would I open an existing Excel file that has been created by the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit?
    Let me explain my application. I have made a test program to collect data on a device. Each time I run the program I want it to append a new row onto an existing data file. Since the tests I do are sometimes over a period of days, I cannot keep the program open and running continuously. So I have to open an existing file and append the new data to it. In technical terms, what I need is to get the 'report out' reference to the existing Excel data file without losing the data that is already there.

    For info on accessing Excel do a search in the examples for the word "Excel" you will get an example that shows how to open a spreadsheet and manipulate the data. This should get you started.

  • Report Generation Toolkit - Write cells to already open Excel file.

    Greetings,
    Does anyone know a way to write numeric cell values to a worksheet in an Excel
    spreadsheet that is already in memory using the Report Generation Toolkit?
    I've found that if the spreadsheet is already in memory and the user has made
    changes to it without saving the changes, when LabVIEW opens the reference to
    the report, the user’s changes are overwritten if they have not been saved
    since LabVIEW opens the last saved version of the spreadsheet.  I'm aware
    that there is a setting to "display alerts" to the user but I'd
    rather not do this.  I would like simply to obtain a reference to the open
    spreadsheet without re-opening the spreadsheet file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Space_Flight:
    I do not believe this is possible to do with the report generation VIs
    (although I have VERY little experience with these. If you really had
    to do it this way, you could use activeX controls to manually right
    values to cells in an open excel spreadsheet, but this can get rather
    cumbersome. Are users changing the values in the spreadsheet while
    your program is running? Is there maybe a way around this?

  • Report Generation Toolkit files in incorrect location after installing deployment

    TestStand 2010 SP1 + LabVIEW 2011 + Report Generation Tookit
    After installing a deployment, the location of NI_Excel.lvclass is expected to be at ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\Excel\NI_Excel.lvclass (see attachment)
    but the path of the file is located at ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    In the deployment image, under the target folder, the file is in ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    and the lvproj finds the file.
    The lvproj in the installation finds the file in ...\VIs for <project name>\SupportVIs\data\NI_Excel.lvclass
    Renaming the folder from data to Excel fixes this problem.
    Has anyone else run into this problem?

    I am facing the same issue when I create the TS deployment through utility using TS2012.I thought of adding the file to the Teststand workspace and give the destination in to supportVIs directory.But even tthat didn't worked as it was copying all excel vis in to two locations.
    Even adding the Directory path in to TS search directory options  to "\data folder"  is not resolving the issue and LAbVIEW Vis are not able to locate it.
