Toolslib Word Report Instrument driver

[MJF]

I have the CVI 8.0 full development system installed and I want to use the Word Report driver for a new project I have in the near future. I decided to look at the example code today to get some experience using the library. It compiles just fine but I can't get it to link. It is apparently missing a .lib or .obj file somewhere and can't resolve the function names for this driver.

I looked for a library or object file in the driver directory and there were two object files called word97.obj and word2000.obj I added these to the project and it still won't link.

So what am I missing? Is there something I need to do to configure something on the ActiveX side?

Anyone?

(And yes, NI reports works beautifully but I can't save anything generated by it...)

OK, I figured out where I went wrong.

Instead of adding the wordreport.fp file to the libraries, I needed to use it as an instrument driver. Problem solved.
