Office Report Generation Toolkit 1.0.1 and MS Office 2000 problem

Hello.
I'm tring to make a repot in word using a template..everything works just fine when in development..but when i make the executable the problem arises.
I get error code 7 (Cannot open vi reference) in NewReport.vi.. FYI i'm running the aplication in the same machine i'm developing.
I'm sure everything else is ok..- changed paths to work in executable, template in correct folder...i'm adding the necesary support llb to the executable(Win200), etc - ..i tried reinstaling office and the report generation toolkit but i still have the same problem...
How can i solve this?....
Thanks in advance for all yur help.

Well..that was a very good answer to my question...and it solved my problem. Thank you.
I thought that by adding just the llb as support files would be enogh..but now i see this is not correct..thanks again.

Application builder-Office report generation toolkit

Hi,
I remember there was a trick to get the executable work with different
versions of Microsoft office but I cannot find it now. The problem it to get
the exe work with some other office version that it was made. I use LabVIEW
7.0 - 7.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.01 for Microsoft office. Was that
possible?
Thanks Eki

Eki,
When you use the Report Generation Toolkit to build a stand-alone application with the Application Builder, you must add _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs. These two VIs contain subVIs that are called dynamically by the high-level Report Generation VIs. I believe that if you grab these VIs from the (desired office version part of the) installation CD instead of from the development machine, then everything should work.

Report generation toolkit (1.1.2) and 8.5

I am not as crazy as I thought!
I wrote a program today that collects data from excel reports in many directories using cell names and it worked well. Unitl I saved it. I had been saving the sub vi's, but when I went to close them I got a message about unsaved changes and I guess I clicked to save the changes today. The program never worked the same again. I would get errors like 41106 and 41110 at random (problems with excel not opening and other stuff). I tried adding waits which slowed everything down and worked mostly. But the only way to not drop data and get errors was to have a copy of excel open while getting my data.
Well I just uninstalled/reinstalled the toolkit and rebuilt the vi that was having problems with the fresh install and everything is great again. So my question is why does the toolkit have problems when I save it in 8.5? The warning does say that the vi's are from 7.1 and I cant find any updates so I am hoping this is the latest version that came with my 8.5 suite.

Hi Bryan,
There should not be a problem with saving the VIs from the Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 8.5. I have checked the readme files to make sure but RGT 1.1.2 should work with any version of LabVIEW later than 7.0. However, the readme does discuss an specific upgrade issue. It says if you previously created VIs that use the built-in Report Generation VIs in LabVIEW Professional, Full, or Base packages or VIs from a previous version of the Report Generation Toolkit, installing the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.2 might break the VIs you created. If the VIs you created contain any of the following VIs, edit them so they are compatible with the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.2.
Append Front Panel Image to Report VI—The Image Format input of the LabVIEW 6.1 version of this VI is a different enumerated type than the current toolkit version. Right-click the input and select Create»Control or Create»Constant from the shortcut menu to create a compatible control or constant.
Append Table to Report VI—The connector pane position of the show grid lines input changed from the Report Generation Toolkit 1.0.1 version of the VI. Reconnect the original wire to the new input location.
Get Report Settings VI—The cluster order of the font settings input changed from the Report Generation Toolkit 1.0.1 version of the VI. Right-click the output and select Create»Indicator from the shortcut menu to create a compatible indicator.
Report Express VI—If a VI includes the LabVIEW built-in version of the Report Express VI on the block diagram, the VI breaks after you install the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.2. Double-click the Report Express VI to launch its configuration dialog box, then click the OK button. Reconnect all wires to the Report Express VI.
You might need to relink the following subVIs after installation because the connector panes changed in the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.2. Right-click the VIs and select Relink to SubVI.
New Report
Dispose Report
Append Front Panel Image to Report
Append Hypertext Link Anchor to Report
Append File to Report
Append Horizontal Line to Report
Set Report Font
One thing that might have happened is if you had created the program in an earlier version of the toolkit, then saved it in the new version of the toolkit, maybe some of the upgrade issues regarding the VIs listed aboved cause LabVIEW to start giving you errors. Also, which version of excel are you using? After you re-did the VI program, have you tried to save it again and see if the same problem occurs?

Report Generation Toolkit with Excel 2003 and Excel 2000

Hello,
I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit to generate an Excel report from an Excel template.
The "NI_Excel.lvclass" is included in the "source" section of the application builder options.
I create an exe file on a PC where Excel 2003 is installed. On a Notebook, where only Excel 2000 is installed, the application crashes at the generation of the report:
I guess the problem is the different version of Excel but I don't know. On the developer PC with Excel 2003 it works fine.
In this document it's only talked about different Word versions.
How can I use the Report Generation Toolkit here?
I'm using it that way:
Regards

Oh, it seems that the Report Generation Toolkit "only" supports Excel XP/2003/2007.
I think, that's the problem.

Chck out the examples that ship with LV. There are demonstrations of how to communicate with Excel. The only question is whether Microsoft has chnaged the ActiveX interface to Excel.

Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

Hello community,
on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

Hi digital_badger,
as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

Report Generation Toolkit and Application Builder

I am going insane trying to work this out.
I am trying to build an EXE program using Application Builder. The program uses the Office Report Generation Toolkit.
I have tried including the dynamic VIs into the project, both from the Development machine and from the CD. I still have the same problem : the application does not start Excel. It is like the commands go into a black hole. There isn't even an error message.
I have attached my report VI for you to peruse. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, Labview 8.2
Office Toolkit = 1.1.1
I have tried many combinations of what files are included, from just the top level VI, to every VI in the heirarchy tree (a major pain). I am now trying to rebuild the project from scratch and see if that does anything.

Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Any ideas?
Scientia est potentia!

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

Report Generation Toolkit Error Quick Question

Hi,
I created the most awesome LabVIEW report ever at my desk using a trial version of the RGT and Office 2003. I took this to my production machine and ")@#(&%(*#^%()^!!!" The production machine has office 2007 and a fully licensed version of the RGT. Both machines have LabVIEW 8.6.0. I've read all the stuff about these errors and something about classes and dll's and whatnot's. So my quick question, is: Instead of matching the versions of Microsoft Office as recommended, can I just rewrite from scratch the VI that creates this world's most awesome LabVIEW report on the production machine to create the same effect?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Quick Answer: Probably
Slower answer: Microsoft changed a lot of things behind the scenes in Office 2007, but the Report Generation toolkit version 1.1.3 supports Office 2007 so you should be good to go. Depends on what functions are included in your VI. Liek the read me says "Several default settings in Microsoft Office 2007 differ slightly from previous versions. Reports you generate using Office 2007 might look different than reports you generate from other versions of Office because font sizes, cell sizes, and so on, differ."

Report Generation Toolkit hyperlink in a table

Having just purchased Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.2 for Microsoft Office for my LabVIEW 7.1, I'd now like to create an HTML report containing a large table. I'd like to fill the cells of the table with Hypertext links to various documents. I can't see any vi's in the toolkit that do this Can someone please suggest where I should be looking, or the best approach to this problem?

Report Generation Toolkit: Page Numbering

When creating a Word Report using the Report Generation Toolkit, I am using the Word Set Page Numbering.vi to display the page numbers in the footer of each page of the report. This works fine when the include page x of n switch is turned OFF. However, when the switch is turned ON the numbers only show up in the left footer regardless of the position setting.
Is this a known bug?
If not where do I report it?
I guess I just did...

Hi Drugar,
I have filed a CAR (43K9NBF2) regarding this issue. I will look into fixing it for the next version of the Report Generation Toolkit. If you want to workaround the problem for now, go into vi.lib\addons\_office\word.llb\Word_auto_text_entry (for page number).vi. You can get a reference to the "Selection" property of the Application class. Then under Selection, get a reference to "ParagraphFormat". Then, you can set the "Alignment" property of the ParagraphFormat class.
Thanks for reporting this issue, and let me know if you have any other questions.

The Report Generation Toolkit does probably not support Office 2007 yet. This is because the Office ActiveX interface used to change with each version and the Report Generation Toolkit comes with specific libraries for each of the Office versions it supports. With the wrong office version the Report Generation Toolkit VIs are normally broken and can't run without some more or less involved modifications.

Report Generation Toolkit and Office 10 - build errors

Using LabView 2011 and Report Generation Toolkit 2011.
After installing Office 10, I would get build error for Excel-Print.Vi and Excel-SetCell.vi and build is then aborted.
2011/vi.lib/addons/_office/_excelsub.llb/Excel-Print.vi.
Says it is unable to save a vi without a block diagram.
Uninstalled Office 10 and reinstalled Office 2003 and build went thru just fine.
I can program using Excel 2003 and the compiled executable will work on another computer with Excel 2011 but once I install Office 10 on my LabVIEW computer I cannot build.
Can't believe I could be the only one to experience this. Any workarounds?

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!
