Print VI front panel to file does not work after building executable.

I am using a property and invoke node to print the front panel of my VI to an HTML file.  It works fine in the development mode. After Building the application, this subvi will no longer
print the front panel.  Is there some special files that included in the build??

Are you using the "Print.VI To HTML" method of the VI Class in VI Server?  If so, the help for this method indicates that this method is not supported in the Run-Time System, i.e. not supported in a built executable.

You can use the Report Generation VIs to generate the HTML report.  Specifically, you could use Append Front Panel Image to Report.vi and Save Report to File.vi to save the image of the panel to an HTML report.

Check out the examples in examples\reports to get a better idea how to use these VIs if you've never used them before.

Good luck,
