Add "Open in New Application Instance" boolean input to the Report generation toolkit New Report.vi

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 2 kudos within 2 years after posting will be automatically declined. 

It would be nice to add an optional "open new instance" boolean input to the New Report.vi of the Report Generation Toolkit (effective for Excel and Word report). Currently this input is left unwired in the"new report subVI.vi and thus use the default false value.

This easy modification would help avoid error -41112.

Sounds like a bug to me.

Too bad it was declined. This is a very easy fix!

To avoid errors, we force the user to quite all Excel instances before creating a report, but we get many complains from users about this behaviour!
