Can't create Word Document report - need help

[peter_cherios]

Hi,

I have been trying to create a report using a word document. I downloaded an example from ni.com that has Export_Info.vi. When I try to run it I get this error:

Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in New Report.vi->Export_Info.vi

I traced the error back to New Report.vi which is a VI that comes with the LabView package. There is a Open VI reference that when it tries to open Word_Open.vi gives an error. So for some reason I can not open Word_Open.vi without an error, and it comes with the Report generation office library.

Does anyone know what could the problem be?

I tried reinstalling everything and i still keep getting the same error. This makes it impossible to create a report now.

Any help would be VERY appreciated.

Thank you

Do you have MS word/office installed on the PC?  The report vi most likely communicated with office through activeX which would only be installed when office is installed.

Yes I have it installed. When I went to open up Word_Open.vi it opened with an error and it said that the property was not valid.

I attached a screenshot of the block diagram for Wor_Open.vi with an error message.

Thank you

If you only use the VI 'Word_open.vi' then you will get an error.

I hope you used the VI 'new report' or ??
