Hello,
I have a very strange problem.
I am using LabVIEW 2014 and Report Generation toolkit 2014. When I have the ethernet cable plugged in it takes a very long time to generate my report in word. When the Ethernet cable is unplugged I don't have a problem.
Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi,
Sounds creepy, I think you can check your CPU utilization when you plugged cable.
It might be your computer doing something and it slow your VI running.

Maybe there's a networked printer configured on your system? Some of the Report Gen VIs deal with the system printer(s), and if there's a problem connecting to one of them, I could see that causing the code to slow down.
Most of the VIs in the toolkit aren't password-protected, so you could use execution highlighting to see which specific subVI gets bogged down.

I do not know where the exact cause is. For me, it is probably the incompatibility of LabView 2013 with Office 2013. But it seems I was able to fix the problem by manipulating the VI "Dispose Report". Please note the pictures: First is original, second is manipulated. I have deleted closing the "InlineShapes". The VI can be found here: ... \ National Instruments \ LabVIEW 2013 \ vi.lib \ Utility \ NIReport.llb \ Word \ Dispose Report.vi.

This is potentially creating memory leaks if there ever was anything populating that data element in the object data cluster. So handle with care!!
