I have developed a report using the Report Generation VIs to both Print it and write it to a file. Is there a way to also display the report within LabVIEW?

As i have understand it, you want to show your report on the front panel as it will be printed, so, i only see one sollution, using an activeX container (which one depends on your report type) to show it.
Hope this helps

Thanks for responding. I don't quite understand how to do it. I have a Report Out refnum, and I tried to wire it into a Active X container for WORD doc but it conflicts. ??? Also, I did not realize that the SAVE report to a file only works for a HTML doc. I need to be able to save it as the report doc to be able to print it at a later time.

Thanks again,

Mobius

What i wanted to say is that when you have created your report, HTML, doc or whatever it is, you can embed a correct OLE container in the front panel and open the file you have just created. BTW, if you want to create a word document, using activeX is a bit tricky, first, you must open an automation (ActiveX) and then wire the correct refnum control, then go passing wires to property and invoke nodes to achieve what you want. There are some examples in LV and NI website.
Hope this helps
