How do I control Excel so that operators using the test software I am creating cannot change things within my Excel Template? I am loading an Excel template that does all the analysis and prints out the report when complete. The template is populated from LabView (8.2) using the NI Report Generation Tool Kit. The operators need to see the report (scroll through the report) but should not be able to save, edit or format the report.
Thanks for any support,
Paul

During the test they make adjustments depending on the patern the report is generating. The program automatically starts over with every adjustment but the report is not printed because we would be killing many inocent trees. The active Excel report is a tool that helps the operator but I did not want them to manually enter numbers for the sake of erros or cheating.
As for your application I have created many interfaces to databases for the purpose of SPEC. Event this one will eventually be database driven in the sense once the operator is happy with the outcome the can comit the results and the record will be added to the database.
Thanks for your input.
