I have a large application developed in LabVIEW 6 that I am converting to 2009. I have encountered multiple errors and conflicts with the standard report generation vis (not the Report Generation Toolkit for Office). The image below shows the conflict screen, and indicates the nature of the conflicts, but I am not sure how to resolve the problem.
If I click on one of the selections for NI_Report.lvclass, I get the "File not found" error, shown above. If I highlight the other selection in the conflict, I get a "Needs Update" notice in the lower "Referencing Items" listbox. In both cases, the window indicates that the Item cannot currently be used to resolve the conflict. I also do not know what needs to be done to "Update" the item, as there is no instruction associated with this notice.
As the project is loading, there are also notices that a couple of report vis cannot be found. The "Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi" and "Generate Report Set Modified Data.vi", which are present in the LabVIEW 6 NIReports.llb library, are not present in the _NIReports.llb folder loaded by LabVIEW 2009. I have seen other forum entries where these two vis are listed as redundant, yet I have no idea what to do to replace them in my project. I have not explicitly called these two vis in any of my project vis. Their calling is coming from other vis in the report vis.
How do I resolve these conflicts when neither item can be used?
Why is the NI_Report.lvclass not found, when it obviously exists in the folder?
How do I update the items showing :Needs Update"?
Why are these two report vis no longer used, and with what do I replace them?
Should I just copy the NIReport.llb from my version 6 install and replace the folder installed by LabVIEW 2009?
What is needed to successfully go from LabVIEW 6 to 2009 with the standard report vis?
Any help with these items would be appreciated.
