VI works but executable file doesn't

I built an application in LV 8.2 to read in some binary data, create some graphs, and make a microsoft word report.  The VI works just fine.  However, when I build the executable file so that I can run it stand-alone, part of it doesn't work.  I have an event structure which waits for user input from 3 buttons - Make Report, Open Report in Word, and Quit.  Open and Quit both work fine, but Make Report just doesn't seem to do anything.  When I built the executable, I made sure to include all of the source files.  All of my stuff is in the zip file attached.  The top-level is called Graph Report Maker.  Can anyone help me out with this?  I'm probably just doing something wrong when I build it, but I'm not sure what.  Thanks.

I'm also using the some VI's from the Report Generation Toolkit.  Do I need to include these VI's as support files?

Yes, there are some RGTK VI's that need to be included as dynamic VI's in the build spec.

See this KB article for all the details.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

Ed,

That KB article was very helpful.  I just needed to add the wordsub.dll to the dynamic support files.  Thanks for your help!
