Team,Thank you for giving quick response.Same script worked well in other workstation for same application but not mine workstation now .that same script worked well in last night but today i didn't change anything but getting type mismatch error. 

Function ClickDispTable_MenuItem(linkText)
Dim table,propArray, valArray,link
Set table = Sys.Process("Student").WinFormsObject("StudentMain").WinFormsObject("_WebBrowserHost").WinFormsObject("WebBrowser", "").WinFormsObject("Shell Embedding", "").Window("Shell DocObject View", "", 1).Window("Internet Explorer_Server", "", 1)_
.Page("ReleaseEnvironment").Frame("FrameMain1").Form("MainMenu")
propArray = Array("innerText","ObjectType")
valArray = Array(linkText,"Cell")
Set link = table.FindChild(propArray,valArray,1000) 'Visible , Enabled

as per Marsha_R could be a timing error.

to check you may add 

aqUtils.Delay(ms, Str)

just before "Set link... " ( just to confirm ...adding delays are not a good practice )

 

also in your code 

valArray = Array(linkText,"Cell")

linktext is not withing " " ....is it purposely?

 

and when you post some codes, write it as code, then it's easy to read & figure-out problems

    Thank Team for giving valuable advice .next time i would mentioned as code as per below advice.

    I have my pain point .I didn't change any code and gave to other team then they confirmed 2-3 times as working fine and also it was working fine same code last 2 days before.I am suddenly surprise why code is not working .

    When i used wait method but some time it work but some time it is giving same error.When i used other property (isObject) then it is working without delay but I need to make so many changes from exists property to 'isObject(WinparentObj)

    Please help me to understand why same code is working fine in other team workstation every time for running same application without any code changes but it is not working fine any time now and need to make so many changes from 'Exists' property to 'isObjects(WinparentObj)

    Thank you for giving quick response always

    Thanks Amit G

      The tests always run well on the machine where they are developed because that's where they get fine tuned.  Most people have to adjust their tests even if just a little bit when they move to another machine.  Sometimes it happens like it did to you that you have to adjust more than a little.  The software can't possibly be written to handle all the combinations of machines that we have, but it will run well on most and we have to do a little work to keep it portable in our own labs.

       

      There is one other thing you can try which is easier than changing a lot of code.  You can make a change in the Project Properties setting for Delay between events.  This slows down the test step by step so it's not running as fast as it possibly can and it allows a little more time for the objects to be detectable.  I would set it to a large number first so you can see it work and then back the number down so you're waiting long enough but not too long.

        Till now i didn't get proper solution . I have followed all suggested steps and also given more delay in project property and also gave delay between two script.

        I am unable to understand why i got this issue suddenly.I have developed script 15 -20 days before in mine workstation and it was working fine every day . but suddenly it is giving issue in morning when we are using 'exists ' and 'focus' related property only .some time it is not typing value in text box where it was read successfully with 'log.message d' method .Same script is working fine without any single line of code change where i didn't use that system to develop same script that was really shocking 

        To avoid this issue , i need to use 'IsObject' property and typing to duplicate same script where it entered blank value in text box but it is so time consuming process for me but i don't have other solution.

        Please help me if you have best solution where i don't need to change existing script more.

        working fine :-

        'To Put Synchronization point 
        While not(IsObject(Sys.WaitProcess("Employees", 2000).WinFormsObject("Add employee").WinFormsObject("pnlAddemployee").WinFormsObject("Detailemployee")))
        wend

        Same Issue still exist :- 

        While not(Sys.WaitProcess("Employees", 2000).WinFormsObject("Addemployee").WinFormsObject("pnlAddemployee").WinFormsObject("Detailemployee").Exists)

         

        Thank you for putting effort to help me,
