Word report generation toolkit error with Win 7 LabVIEW 2013, Word2010

[urssieg]

Hi All

I'm seeing different Errors using the Report generation toolkit. Maybe you can help me with that.

The errors are:

• -2147417846, application is busy in Word_Get_range.vi
• -2146824090 Exception in Microsoft word: Befehl misslungenHelp Path is wdmain11.chm and context ...
• -2147417846 application is busy in Word_Quit.

the error messages are attached to the post.

I'm testing 10 sensors with one application and want to run up to 5 applications on one computer. Since I'm seeing such errors as application is to busy I set all my report generation vi's as non-reentrant execution and additionally added some pause after each word modification.

But I'm still seeing such errors when I run two applications on one computer.

What is the best way to deal with these errors?

thanks

best regards

You are going to have to post your VI.

My best guess here is that you have Word open and that is interferring with you being able to manipulate a document.

in the first vi I'm saving the word document as a pdf and then dispose the report. the quite.vi is a subvi of dispose report.vi

The second attachment shows how I create the report.  I'm using a word_template which i update some tables, append text and include one figure. After each modification I'm waiting some time, thought it could help with these errors....

Post your VIs. NOT graphic files.

If I am running two applications and each one tries to creating a report could this cause the crash?

[crossrulz]

I don't know about a crash, but when I did a project with ActiveX and Excel, I had to add a prompt to tell the user to make sure Excel was closed before I could properly get the reference.  I would get an error if they had Excel open.

Here my Vi's involved in creating the report.

Is there a way to check wheter word is busy or already open?
