    Hi,
    When you get this error, it's normally because the version of the Report Generation Toolkit VIs in your VI that you are trying to open is different from the one on your PC. Normally you can just right click on the bad VIs on the block diagram and choose "Relink To SubVI".
    There's a KnowledgeBase that describes another issue when using different versions of Microsoft Office.

  • Report generation toolkit does not work

    Hello,
    The report generation toolkit does not work.
    It seems to point to the 'Generate Report Data Members.ctl'.
    I suppose it has something to do with the wrong set of active X-controls ?
    I work with Win 2000 and Office XP
    How can i solve this problem ?
    Thanks in advance !
    Regards
    Christine

    Hello Julien,
    Sorry for the late answer
    I become a broken arrow, when openening the example Sample Report (Excel).vi
    Searching further for the cause of the error it brings me to the sub vi tables.

  • Problems creating a web service that uses the report generation toolkit

    Hi,
           Im trying to develop a web service using labview 2013.
    I create a html form that is correctly communicating with my labview method and part of the web service functionality is to create a report from the data obtained in the html form published.
    I realized that using the report generation toolkit inside of the web service method the server cannot generate a report. ( If I run the same Vi before publishing the web service it works on the server but it doesnt work after I deploy it)
    I thought that maybe Im unable to use the report generation toolkit VIs inside of the web service because Im not incluiding the (dynamic VIs labview uses when they run), I tried to add the excel dynamic library to the proyect but with no success.
    I also tried to use VI SERVER to call a VI that generates the report using the report generation toolkit  in the method that runs when the web service is call but  it doesnt work either.
    How can I deploy a web service able to use  the report generation toolkit ?, how can I deploy a web service able to use VI server ?
    Any help is really appreciated.

    The issue you are running into is actually a limitation intended by Microsoft.  They don't want windows services to be able to call into the ActiveX interface for Microsoft Office for security reasons.  If you are deploying your web service to the NI Application Web Server on Windows you will run into this problem since the web server is a Windows Service.
    While I haven't tested this, you may be able to work around this by packaging your Web service with a LabVIEW EXE rather than deploying to the NI Application Web server.

  • Does the Report Generation Toolkit support Office 2007?

    With the hot-out-of-the-oven Office 2007, Microsoft has done a complete overhaul of the Office environment that we all have spent many years learning to perfection (well.. almost). Lucky those who got a head start as part of the Office Beta program.
    Well, NI claims that the current version of the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit supports "Microsoft Office 2000 (Word, Excel, and Graph) or later" and therefore literally also the new Office 2007.
    I doubt that the ActiveX API has remained unchanged when developing Office 2007, so let's use this thread to uncover the experience you have with calling Office 2007 applications using the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit.
    Anyone???
    - Philip Courtois, Thinkbot Solutions

    We are currently working on a maintenance release for the Report Generation Toolkit to support Office 2007.  You can install the current toolkit with Office 2007, but you will have some problems.  If you copy the four LLBs from the Compatibility\Office 2003\vi.lib\addons\_office folder on your Report Generation Toolkit CD to the corresponding vi.lib\addons\_office location in your LabVIEW folder after installing the toolkit, things will work for the most part.  But you won't have 100% compatibility until the maintenance release is done.

  • What is wrong with the report generation toolkit????

    OK.  Now I'm a little frustrated.
    I started this thread, but then made an ugly workaround until someone tells me the correct solution.
    So now.... my compiled application can find all the toolkit VIs... but I get error messages telling me that the VIs were are too old (V 7.0) to be recompiled to Version 8.5.1.
    When I got the first of these messages, I opened and saved the VI indicated.  That just pushed the problem along to the next VI.  So I said "ah ha!" and went to the directory (blah\blah\....\addons\_office) that has the toolkit routines and did a Mass Compile.  No errors were generated by this.
    NOW when I try to run, I get an error message telling me that Excel_Insert_Text.vi is not executable.  But that is clearly a lie.  When I open the VI in the development environment, there are no broken arrows...
    And let us not forget my application runs perfectly and without errors in the development environment, even after I brutally recompiled everything.
    For those who care:  I'm running V 8.5.1 with whatever version of the Report Generation Toolkit comes with that (1.1.2??).
    Arrgh.
    -GN

    I feel your pain GN... the RGT in its current Classes incarnation has a few "issues"... try deploying it with TestStand a whole world of pain opens up.
    Now, I have recently seen an issue very similar to the one you described, I broke the RGT after doing a mass compile.
    Eventually opened the RGT VI that was "broken", it looked fine to me. It was something to do with setting the font, and was basically just an activex call. Eventually out of frustration I right clicked on the node, reselected the same method, and another input parameter line appeared at the bottom of the node and the VI all of a sudden became runnable. WOW!
    This needed to be done in a few of the VIs.
    Maybe this will help you

  • Exe created with Report Generation toolkit does not work for all users

    I created a exicutable with the report generation toolkit and it only works with some of my users. I use microsoft 2007 and anyone that has microsoft 2007 my exe works well. Most of my users that have microsoft 2010 are able to use my program as well. However, there is one user with 2010 and Windows 2007 that cant get my program to work.
    Any suggestions for troubleshooting this?
    Thanks

    The most likely issue is due to the fact that Microsoft changes the ActiveX object model of Office for each version of Office. The Report Generation Toolkit does a pretty good job of handling this, but it is not 100% effective. Search, for example on the "Set Cell Border" function and you will see what I mean. In these cases it's up to you to handle this issue. How you handle it really depends on your situation. For us to provide a more concrete answer you will need to provide further details, such as what toolkit function is "not working" (whatever that means), and who you "users" are. Is this an internal distribution? Are you selling this program? Is this code written for a project with a specific customer?

  • Malfunctio​n in generating word report out of an app (using the report generation toolkit)

    I placed in my program some features that generate a word report with some graphics and text using the report generation toolkit. When I'm in the developing system everything works. But the point is that I have to create an exe for a user and in testing this the report is not generated (and no error msg occurs). Does anyone handeled this problem already and could give me some hints? Thx.

    Hi muchalla,
    the report generation toolkit for MS office depends on the version of MS Office (not the OS). You must generate your application for the version of MS Office or use some dynamic technic.
    The different versions of the llbs you need are on the CD in a subfolder called compability.
    Here I have asked if some ideas to do this will work. Until now I haven't got the time to verify it by myself.
    You will find here more information about using the report toolkit with applications.

  • How do I use page numbering and a text block in a footer in Word with the Report Generation Toolkit?

    I am creating a Word document with the Report Generation Toolkit, and LabVIEW 8.2.1. In the report I am using a template that has page numbering enabled in the center. When I try to add a text block to the left side footer, it eliminates the page numbering and adds my text on the left side. I found "Set Report Footer Text" and "Word Set Page Numbering" vi's that may be the clue to this. When I use these two vi's I either get Page 1 of 456789-001 on the left side, or if I reverse the order I get only 456789-001(text) in the left side with nothing in the center. What I would like to achieve is 456789-001(text) on the left footer, and Page 1 of 2 in the center. Is this possible and if it is, then how can I do it?

    Hi SciManStev,
    I have attached a vi where you can see how they can be made to work together. You have to design it such that one follows the other. If you don't design it that way, it results in a race condition and only one of them get executed.
    Good Luck!

  • How to use the Report Generation Toolkit to get a list of bookmarks in a Word Template

    I am working on a project where I will need to use the Report Generation Toolkit to fill out a fairly long Word Template. The MS Office Report Express VI can only have inputs for a maximum of 17 bookmarks which is not nearly enough for what I am needing to do.
    I'm wondering if there is some way to use the lower level report generation VIs to read the word template and return a list of the bookmark names as a 1d array of string. The dialog box that you use to set up the Express VI has this capability but I'm not finding a way to scan the document programatically.
    I'm sure I can't be the first person to run into this issue and I'm hoping that someone out there has found a good solution.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Wordsub.llb should be somewhere in your Labview folder on your local drive. The path to it in my install is: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
    Also what specific problem are you referring to about 17 bookmarks? Is that the limit on the express style VI for filling them in from LV? If so what you will need to do is to use the lower level function 'Word Insert Field' under Word Advanced VIs. You will need to supply the VI the name of the bookmark and the text you want to insert.

  • Inserting an image into a Word Table with the Report Generation Toolkit.

    I was wondering if it was possibe to use the Report Generation Toolkit to place an image into the cell of a table in a Word document?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Yes, you can do this by using the Word Edit Cell VI under Report Generation>>Word Specific>>Word Tables in your block diagram functions pallette.  After creating a table, you can edit specific cells and send the file path of the image saved on your computer to that specific cell.  I put together an example that I've attached here as well to help you out with this.

  • Can I align the orientatio​n of axis labels in a graph generated with the report generation toolkit (Word)?

    I was wondering how to align the axis labels, i.e. 90 degree or such when creating a graph with the report generation toolkit in word.
    I can do it after the document is created through Format axis title -> alignment but is there a way out of LabVIEW?
    I'd especially like to rotate the y-axis label by 90 degrees.
    Thanks a lot,
    Juergen

    I think he means he can modify it by hand after the report has been generated... But what I want to do is generate the word graph out of labview already with the rotated axis label...
    After I posted this I found out that we can do this with a macro and use it from labview, but unfortunately I don't know VB, or VBA...

  • How can I create a Report with the Report Generation Toolkit?

    Hi,
    I have installed Labview Report Gerneration Tool for Microsoft Office Version 1.1 and now I want to use MS Office Report Express VI but it need the VI "Dflt Data Dir.vi". I don't have this on my computer, why? Where can I get this VI? Can somebody help me?
    thanks Labprog

    Hello Labprog
    This VI should be located in the file.llb in the folder
    ..\vi.lib\utility. Thus, it is not part of the report generation
    toolkit but of LabVIEW. I am not sure why you are missing that file on
    your PC, maybe you just did not find it because it is hidden in a LLB.
    Maybe this LLB is not part of your LabVIEW package (Base, FDS, PDS).
    Anyway, I'll attatch that little VI, hoping that this is the only one missing.
