Examples VIs from Report generation Tool kit is not executable. I am running Labview 7.0 and Office XP on Windows 2000. I try to repeat the installation on several different machines but I couldn't get the report generation tool kit working.

What is the set up of the system? OS, Labview versions, etc.

Which example does not work?

Please be more specific.

Unfortunately I dont have a good answer. I have both lv 6 and 7 on my computer, since Report Generation kit was installed for v6 first, it wouldn't even install for lv7! unlike some other toolkits you can install different versions. Eventually I copied all the related files from lv6 to lv7. By doing so, I'm sure it screwed up the examples. I would suggest that by looking at NI's example, you can re-create (not just copy and paste) the vi by yourself and see if that solves the problem.

Suresh,
Where are the toolkit examples breaking? Is it that they cannot recognize some activex objects and property nodes, or is it that they cannot find some subVIs? Which properties/SubVIs are those?
When you go to reinstall the toolkit, make sure you specify you want to install the VIs for Office XP. Maybe the first time it installed the VIs for Office2000, thinking that is the version you have since you run it on Win2000.
Also, do you have the earlier version of the toolkit installed, version 1.0? You should uninstall it before installing version 1.0.1.
If you are still having problems, try to force the recompile of the toolkit VIs. Recompile is different from the mass compile in that it rebuilds the VI binary. Open the VI that is broken
(Sample Text Report) and select CTRL+Run Arrow. It will recompile all VIs in memory. Save and close the VI. Open the VI again and if it still broken look in the sub-subVI called Font Style.vi. In the upper left-hand corner of this VI there is a property node. Change the property node to a different property and back. This should fix the broken arrow.
