Dim tcApp
const tcAppID="TestComplete.TestCompleteApplication"
On Error Resume Next
 tcApp = GetObject( , tcAppID)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    Err.Clear
    Set tcApp = CreateObject(tcAppID)

    Hi,

     

    The error means that there is already either TestComplete or TestExecute instance running in the system.

     

    GetObject() returns an object, so instead of

    tcApp = GetObject( , tcAppID)

    it must be

    Set tcApp = GetObject( , tcAppID)

     

    Also I would recommend to consider the code from the https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/54655/ article.
