LB 8.6 Report Generation

[yenknip]

When I place the new report VI on a new VI, the error list shows a compilation error in the standard report : set report font VI

I am using the html report for my application, but I would like peace of mind as to why this compilation error is happening

[pfhenry21]

try to open the VI from report generation until find the problem, compile again or delete and replace the part with problem

I found the problematic VI, it is the set font VI in the standard report class. The error is less than descriptive, in that it only says it is a compile error. There are a couple of call library function nodes, but nothing looks wrong. I've done a mass compile of the library but it still gives a broken run arrow.

I just tried to build the project, and it failed because of the above mentioned VI. I do not use the particular VI, but as it is in the report class, I cannot ignore it. Would reinstalling LV 8.6 resolve this at all? I want to ask before I resign the afternoon to reinstallation.

Hi Ed,

Sorry to hear you've been having problems. Have you tried running the VI on another machine? I've just tried it on mine and it seems to be fine. Alternatively, you may already have tried this but perhaps a reboot of the computer may help. Finally, you could attempt to re-install just the Report Generation Toolkit (as opposed to LV 8.6 in it's entirety), which may save you some time. Hope this helps,

Best regards

I'm not sure it is in the Report Generation Toolkit, it's a VI in a seemingly standard llb.

.\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\Utiity\NIReport.llb\Standard Report

 Actually, I'm not so sure where the error is any more, The error list shows 2 VIs

I've re installed LV 8.6 but the problem still persists.

Could somebody post up their version of this VI and I'lll try a direct replacement.

In my post above, the error in Easy Text report points to the Set Report Font VI, so it is definately the Set Report Font VI that is broken.

Hi, Ed,

As you can see "...One or more of the set of VIs which this dynamic dispatch subVI may call are broken..."

So, you have four Set Report Font.vi:

Open each one in each class, see what is wrong (I guess, some conflicts with your version of MS Office here - i have seen that on my notebook), then fix it.

Andrey.

I found the problem VI, which is the NI_Standard Report.lvclass:Set REport Font.vi. The only error description in the "VI failed to compile" error

Wha? I moved a wire a bit and saved changes, which cleared the compilation error, now I just have the irritation of a load of directories in the build directory caused by classes
