QUOTE (george seifert @ Sep 10 2008, 11:37 AM) Hi George, Let me first say there is an easy work around for this. If you search ni.com for "report generation kb" you should find: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8D2...62574B000534AF5 which explains what to do. The basic idea is to edit one of the existing VIs (Get Report Type) to output the references you need. You do not need to know anything about LVOOP or classes. And hopefully I can clear up a couple things in this thread: 1. When we (NI) make changes to a toolkit, we guarantee the palette VIs. SubVIs not on the palette are subject to be changed or removed. That said, we don't want or try to break your application. We will likely add some utility VIs to the palette in the future to allow access to the Word and Excel references without having to edit the existing toolkit VIs. 2. It is true that you cannot add VIs to the to the NI_Word,lvclass or the NI_Excel.lvclass. It is false that the class implementation blocks access to the Word and Excel ActiveX – you can get to the references as described in the KB link above. 3. While you cannot add VIs to the classes, you can edit the VIs in the classes. However, please remember that when you do this, you need to be aware that installing the next version will replace your edited VIs. Hope this helps, Doug Norman
