report generation tool kit not printing

[Dr._Imad]

I had the report generation tool kit version 1.01 for some time but never used it. I was comfortable with printing front panel vi 's.
But now I installed it on my computer with a windows 2000 and LabView 6.02 .

I created an application (executable) that will print (using the report
genartion tool kit). The application works fine in my development computer

(win 2000).
When I installed it on another computer with a win 2000, it prints as
expected
but when I try to exit I get a message from windows that the application is not responding (I have to go to task manager and terminate the application).
Both computers have word and Excell installed


I installed the application on a third computer (win 2000), but this com
puter does not have word or excell installed. The application does not print the

portion of the software that uses the report generation tool kit, but it can print the front panel of vi's (set to print an end of excution).

In all 3 computers, I have runtime engine 6.02 installed. My vi is simply
the example vi ""Sample test report.vi"", but customized to my application, printing standard report.


What is happening ?

A couple questions:

Can you try different printers?
Can you try the unmodified version of Sample test report.vi?
Do you have the same version of Word and Excel on all these machines?
Could you post the VI?

Attached is the print vi. Note: standard report will be printed only, eventhough it contains functions that call Word or Excell. This is the same example that ships with LabView 6.0

The same versions of Excel and Word (office 2000) are installed in the two computers.

Based on what you sent, the version of Excel and Windows that are being used is a non issue since none of the code makes any calls to either one. They all refer to the older version of the report generation VIs that use NI's proprietary report generator.

I can think of two explainations. First, you aren't using what you think you are. Second, NI retained the same VI names when they went to the Word/Excel version of the generator, and I am linked into the old version.
