MS Office Report crashes when placed in diagram

[raphael.wittwer]

Hi all

I wanted to generate a quick report using the MS Office Report Express VI, unfortunately LabView crashes with the following Error as soon as I drop the VI in the diagram:

Exception: Unknown (0x00000000) at EIP=0x0000000140026B7B

Version: 16.0 (64-bit)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Raphael

Two comments.

• Try to never use Express VIs, particularly for "simple stuff" (such as Report Generation).
• Unless you have a specific need for really large data structures, install 32-bit LabVIEW (on 64-bit Windows).  There are a number of things that just don't work properly in 64-bit LabVIEW.

P.S. -- I had no trouble dropping the MS Office Report Express VI on my LabVIEW 2016 (32-bit) Block Diagram on Windows 10 (64-bit).

Hi  Bob

thanks for your reply. I tried the traditional VI approach, but there is an error on any Office report.

On this system I do need a lot of Data to be processed and like the 64bit Version of LabView so far, I guess I'll just do it with html reports which will then be printed as a pdf..

Cheers, Raphael

I tried the same on a LabView 2015 32bit on the same machine with no problems, seems to be 64bit after all..

Do you mean the VI's are broken? I had a similar issue with 2016 x64 and dug down and found a broken invoke node in "Excel_Save_Workbook.vi." I chose the same method and it unbroke and have since been able to use the report VI's to generate a report.
