report generation in labview 8 without the toolkit

[max2010]

HI

I have a typical problem. I want to generate report in MS word format. Unfortunately I don't have the toolkit. I am wandering whether there is a method to generate report without using the toolkit or I have to get the toolkit to be able generate report.

Yes you can,

you can do the same as NI has done and built it from scratch with ActiveX. But I advice you to get the NI toolkit, it works with a lot of Office releases and does (almost) anything you want!

How complex are the reports that you want to generate?

Hi mikeporter

I have attached a dummy report. The report will be exactly in the same format in *.doc file. I will appreciate if you can help me out.

Hi Shreeharsh,

As Ton was saying, making this report will be a lot quicker and easier using the Report Generation Toolkit.  If you still want to pursue using ActiveX, a great place to start is the Using ActiveX with LabVIEW help file.
