How can I distribute an application using Reprot generation Toolkit for MS Office for different versions of MS Office?

I want to create an application which uses the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The office version of the target machine depends on what my customer has installed.
From several discussions I have seen that the installer detects which version I have on my development machine. I'm not able to hold three or four machines with different versions (97,2000,2002,XP).
I decided to do the following software architecture:
I create a LLB MakeReport.llb with a VI called MakeReport.vi. With VI server I will start MakeReport.vi in MakeReport.llb. Over a named queue I will send a command from my application to MakeReport.vi. Then the report will be
printed.
I will create this LLB by saving MakeReport.vi with File>>Save with options...>>Application distribution. All neccessary VIs will be in the LLB.
I will hold different directories for each version. I can create different version of the LLB. During installation of my application the LLB for the right version will be copied from the CD to the application folder.
I know I will be restricted in testing my report in only one version and hoping it will be good in the other versions.
I think that the difference lays only in the word and excel related llbs.
1. Will my software architecture work or is it obviously wrong?
2. How will I get all versions from the toolkit CD?
3. Which is the registry key I must read to get the right version (a minor question, if somebody knows I do not need to search for myself).

Lookout 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.

  • How can I detect open applications using LabView 6i

    I am using ActiveX to open and write data to an Excell spreadsheet. I open a Template sheet, fill in the new data, then save the spreadsheet under a new name.
    I have discovered that if excell is already open when the VI starts, the spread sheet does not get saved under the new name, and the data ends up being saved with my template worksheet.
    I need a method of determining if Excell is open and if so close as part of the VI's startup routine.

    You can use the "ActiveWindow" method on the "_Application" node to see if it returns a valid refnum or not.
    A valid refnum tells you Excel is open, an invalid says it's not.
    Sample attached.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • How can I get Firefox to use Front Page 2003 as an editor for my website?

    I have a website called www.gethsemanechurch.net. I use Front Page 2003 to update and maintain the site. Currently this was all being done using IE. However, my IE is now updated to IE10 and I am having problems with IE10. I figured I would try to use Firefox at this time.
    My OS is Win 7 and I am on a desktop.

    How do you use FrontPage now: do you edit your web locally and then upload it? Or do you edit the pages "live" on the site? Whichever browser you use, your workflow does not need to change. The main difference would be when you preview local files: FrontPage is likely to launch the local pages in your default browser.
    With respect to editing ''inside'' Firefox, you can switch your source code viewer from the built-in window to an external program such as FrontPage. However, the file that opens in FrontPage in that scenario will be a local copy in a temp folder, it won't be your live website. For best results, I suggest continuing to do your edits directly in FrontPage.
    Also... if you find that FrontPage is not creating pages compatible with Firefox, you may be able to adjust the settings, or you have the option to change to a completely different editor. One free one I've seen suggested is [http://www.bluegriffon.org/ BlueGriffon].

  • LabView6.1 reprot generation toolkit

    I have a large application that was written in LV6.1. The program uses reprot generation toolkit. Last year IT updated Microsoft Office from 2003 to 2007 on that computer. As a result (i believe) when I tried to compile the executable, it gave me an build error (some interal liberay Excel vi is broken). So how can I resolve this problem? I don't have the toolkit come with LV6.1 anymore. I do have the reprot generation toolkit for 6.0, 7.1 and later.

    Hi,
    The Report Generation Toolkit (RGT) contains some VIs. These VIs uses ActiveX from MS Office. The definitions for the ActiveX methods vary from one Office version to another.Thus, the occurrence of the error is normal.
    I know that when you install the RG Toolkit you are asked what MS Office version is installed in your PC. So, you have to reinstall the RGT and choose the version for Office 2007. If you don't have a RGT for Office 2007 you can simply search for VIs that generate the error and update the Invoke Nodes or Property Nodes for the new version. It should be easy to be done.

    Mail application is still there. All of my emails and folders are gone since iCloud. How can I get them back using Snow Leopard? Or can I? Do I have to wait for Mountain Lion?

    I need to check a few other things...

    Click Preferences
    Click the 'Accounts' tab
    Make sure your iCloud account is highlighted in the column on the left.
    In the account information section what does it say next to:

    Outgoing Mail Server?
    Also, did you use MobileMe before the iCloud?

  • How can i transfer my rarely used applications and files so i can make room on my computer harddrive?

    how can i transfer my rarely used applications and files so i can make room on my computer harddrive?

    Well the applications you should leave alone as they install files elsewhere that are needed like preferences etc that won't be on the external drive if you attempt to run it from there.
    Some programs are completely self contained and will run just fine from a external drive, but applicaiton's are usually small.
    Now your user files! That could use some thinning for sure! Especially stuff you don't use that often and Video files which take up a lot of space.
    You can buy a external USB drive at any office / computer supply store and just plug it in and backup files via drag and drop.
    What happens when you plug in a drive is TimeMachine will pop up and ask to make it a TimeMachine drive, this just backups up everything on your computer to restore from in case your OS X or boot drive fails. It's a image of your drive and so whatever is on the boot drive is on the TM drive. So that doesn't server your purpose which is you want to free some space off your main boot drive.
    However you should get another drive and allow TM to do it's thing to that drive, also to make a hold option bootable clone of your boot drive (using yet another external drive) using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper so in case your boot drive fails you can quickly and easily boot off the clone and have a working machine right away.
    One of the posters here has a excellent instructions what does what, both should be used to backup your data.

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • How can I reinstall Garageband application from Time Machine

    Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
    Actually photoshop elements 6 should work on modern intel macs.
    The only problem is that adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 installers available anymore, though there may be a chance to get the pse 6 installer if you bought pse 6 as a download from adobe
    and login to your adobe account using the same user id and password as you did back then.
    Otherwise hopefully you have the photoshop elements 6 install dvd.
    Photoshop elements 13 is the current version that adobe has for sale

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • How can I execute external application?

    Hi friends I want printing my barcodes a laser printer (Kyocera) it isn't a barcode printer. So I think (and I look kyocera web page my model doesn't support barcode printing in sap) print my barcodes using an external system. Before SAP we are using JollyPrint application for printing barcodes. It is using an Excel file.
    I can create a excel file for this application. I must execute this (JollyPrint-it is a label application) application when I press a button. How can I execute this application?
    Thanks
    Mehmet
    P.S. I have been writing this message with details may be somebody can give me a simple way for this

    Well, I can suggest you following steps. May be it works for you .
    -Create an external OS command in SM69
    -Test OS command in SM49 ( <u><i>about OS command if you search in SDN you’ll get lot of material</i></u> )
    -Create a Script at your OS level, I’m assuming you might have some UNIX flavor or Sun solaria’s.
    -Create a Shell script , which execute the printer job from OS .
    -Shell script will have parameters . ( e.g. printer name, destination etc )
    -set the path of shell script directory in SM69 ( the command you just created )
    -Execute shell script using your ABAP program ( use FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" )
    In the ABAP  program you can pass the parameters and execute the command from ABAP as a result your job will start printing on the required destination. Moreover, you can also capture the spool at OS level .
    FYI
    For UNIX script, if you search in www.google.com ( UNIX forums) . you’ll get shell script .
    Hope this’ll give you idea!!
    <b>P.S award the points.</b>
    Good luck
    Thanks
