    Ashok,



    It's not clear from the snipped what Obj_Customer contains after the following statement:



    var Obj_Customer=aqConvert["VarToStr"](Utility["doGetxmlvaluebyNode"](filepath_Setup,"Data_Article_Number"))



    If it includes a TestComplete full name, try Obj_Customer = eval(Obj_Customer);

You said:

Obj_Customer is contents of 



<Data>

<Name>Obj_Customer</Name> <Value>Sys["Process"]("Orders")["WPFObject"]("HwndSource: OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("gridMain")</Value></Data>




This is why the eval does not work.  What you should do is have you code that reads the XML file return the Value contents, only.  It seems, if I'm reading this correctly, you're getting a lot of other XML as well.  So, you're trying to do, essentially



eval(<Data>

<Name>Obj_Customer</Name> <Value>Sys["Process"]("Orders")["WPFObject"]("HwndSource: OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("gridMain")</Value></Data>)




And that won't work.  You need to have your code grab that Value contents so that what you end up with is



eval("Sys["Process"]("Orders")["WPFObject"]("HwndSource: OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("OrderForm")["WPFObject"]("gridMain")")




Keep in mind, also, that if you're reading a set of quotes from the XML, it's probably being parsed out improperly in the attempt to eval... you may need to use a /" to send in your actual quotes.
