Custom excel template path in Stanalone application

[U_hend]

Hi All,

I have a problem in building application that includes Report Generation Toolkit.

So, I use Ms Office report express.VI which has custom excel template path is defined in this VI

The problem is when I build the application, The VI can't seem to connect to path of the template in the target PC.

Note : I have added the template, NI_Excel.lvclass, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi, NI_Report Generation Toolkit.lvlib to the project file and set as always included.

The application runs without any error. but the Excel report is not generated.

Any help is highly appreciated 😄

It's really driving me nuts now

Did you add the Report Generation VIs to your project and include them in your application?

Including Report Generation VIs in Stand-Alone Applications (Report Generation Toolkit)

Hi PhillipBrooks,

Yes, I did ! does it have anything to do with relative path/absolute path ?

I'm sorry...really new in LabVIEW 🙂

[PhillipBrooks]

I believe the toolkit uses ActiveX to open and manipulate the template. 

Does your target PC have MS Office installed?

[U_hend]

Yup, the target PC has MS office and activeX installed 😄

Perhaps to give you clearer view of the problem, here i attach my configuration for the build

And this is how the excel template file accessed in MS Office Report Express.VI

The application builder should put your template that you noted as "Always Included" in the "\data" sub-folder. Is it there?
