Error -41106 - Excel Report Generation

[michele.santucci]

Executing this:

I got this:

Error -41106 occurred at NI_Excel.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> Shell_PAIPL_3Liv.vi

Possible reason(s):

Report Generation Toolkit: Microsoft Word or Excel did not open. Make sure Microsoft Word or Excel is installed.

Office is installed, I have the same code running on multiple machines and it runs flawlessly.

I tried to reinstall Office, reinstall Report Toolkit, mass compile Excel.lib. I always got the same result.

And BTW the same problem/error code arise with this code also using different templates:

BTW: the KB article proposed solution will not work:

This is odd code.  The LabVIEW version is 2013, more than a decade "out of date".  When I run it, I get hung on the "New Report" function (when I push the "Save" button), showing Error -41003, "File Open error" (of course, I didn't specify any file names).

Do a Search of the Forum looking for a Demo I wrote more than a decade ago (type "Revised Excel " and it should pop up).  I think it also might be in LabVIEW 2013.  It still runs fine in LabVIEW 2021, and it should run fine on your system.  If it doesn't, you have a bad installation of LabVIEW or Excel or Windows.
