Web Server and Report Generation

[mlwalter77]

I am developing an application which will read data stored in text files that have been generated by LabView.  The data will be used to generate an HTML report.  I've gotten this all to work just fine for the local PC.  However, I am using the Web Publishing Tool to view/control the VI remotely.  When I click my "Generate Report" button from the remote PC, the report is created and popped up on the local PC.  I would rather have it pop up on the remote PC.  Any suggestions?

mlwalter77,

There is no option to pop-up the report on the remote machine but what you could do is write the report to the <LabVIEW>\www folder and use LabVIEW's built in web server to serve the report to the remote pc. 

You could then just have a link that goes between the html page with the embedded control and the generated html report page.

I hope this suggestion helps and let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks Simon,

I believe that is what I will end up doing.  Although I plan to have the link open in a new window, instead of switching between windows.
