error 1003 when using excel reprt, but not Word

[Bill_5335]

I am trying to use the MS Office Report vi to send my data to an Excel. I am using Labview 7.1. 

When I place the VI on the block diagram I get the following message: (Also attached)

Error 1003 occurred at Open VI Reference in ex_RGT_Get

Bookmarks and named cells.vi->Configure MS Office

Report.vi->Confugure MS Office Report.vi.ProxyCaller

Possible Reason(s):

The VI is not executable. (OK Dialog box)

If I click OK, the " Configure MS Office Report pop up window is mostly grayed out . If I select "Basic report for Word" I have no error message.

I am using Excell 2003.  The problem is with a laptop computer I am using. I do not see this problem with a desktop computer. 

Thanks,

Bill

Hello Bill,

You are not trying to build an executable, just use the Express VI in a regular development VI, right?  If so, this link describes the troubleshooting steps to get rid of this error.

Clint, That is correct. I am not at the executable stage yet.

Thanks for your help

Hi Bill,

Did you go through the troubleshooting steps in the above link?  Does this not solve the issue?

I haven't had a chance to go through the troubleshooting.

I was able to get the VI to work using MS Word, so I may just stick with that.

Thanks for your help.
