CVI 8.5 and Office 2007

[menchar]

Has anyone had any issues with using Office 2007 with CVI 8.5? 

It looks to me that Office 2007 with excel2000 and word2000 interfaces works with CVI 9.1 all OK, and it looks like these interface modules are unchanged from previous releases of CVI.

Thanks.

Hi Menchar,

There are no known issues that I am aware of.  We did fix some issues with CVI and Microsoft Office 2007 between versions 8.1.1 and 8.5.  Here is the LabWindows/CVI 8.5 Bug Fix Information for your reference.

I have problems with word2007 as I created an activex controller for word 12.0 (2007) and created a simple program to open a small word document. But the program just says "out of memory" again and terminates, doesn't run at all. Not even reaching to the point where we initialize the word object handle.

Hi Joyal,

I was wondering what functions are you calling from your activeX controller, just to get a better idea of what could be the issue. Perhaps even a screenshot of the error would be helpful.

Thanks!

First of all thanks for your reply!

The word ActiveX controller tool created a ".c" file and ".fp" file and tries to compile it to create the object file. It takes a long time and and comes back with error "out of memory". Sometimes it hangs on compiling without giving the "out of memory" error and have to kill the CVI using task manager.

My pc has 2 GB memory and don't hink it doesn't have enough memory as no other programs complains about it and I doubled my virtual memory to "8192 mb" thinking that might be because of not enough virtual memory.

I downloaded the word automation sample program with word-10 (2003) from your website and tried to run it, but it shows the word window without any document open and I think it might be because I have this 2007 installed and may not work with 2003 automation commands.

thanks,

Joyal.

Hi Joyal,

Try using the instrument that is included with CVI. On the top go to Instrument -> Load, then navigate to <CVI Directory>/toolslib/activex/word/wordreport.fp 

Even though it does not explicitly say 2007 is supported, the instrument has been used successfully on Word 2007 before.
