Excel and Word dynamic VIs broken

[PhilipHambley]

I upgraded from Labview 8.5.1 to 8.6 and tried to upgrade the microsoft office report generation toolkit at the same time but got an error as I am using office 2000 (not compatible with the new toolkit).  Now, I can add the word and excel dynamic VIs to a project and add them to an application build but when I try to build the exe I get an error saying the word and excel VIs are broken.  Looking at the Excel VI shows an error "SubVI 'NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel_Get_Properties.vi': required input 'report in' is not wired".  The Word VI gives three similar errors.  Is there a known problem or workaround for this?

Hi zeppelin_79,

Can you provide me with the screenshots of the error?

From my experience, Common error came up when we upgrade the Microsoft Office versions. Since, different version of Microsoft Office might have different attributes that being access by the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

In the meantime, try to do what this article recommended:

Broken Run Arrow When Using Excel Get Data VI in My Application

Let me know if the problems are still persist.
Sincerely,
