    I don't see any particular problem with what you're doing.  The only thing I would suggest is that, in your GetDatabaseName function, instead of calling the "get_EditValue()" method, simply use the "value" property.



    You could combine these functions into a single function.  That MIGHT be more" efficient".  but by themselves, everything looks good.



    Is there an error or some problem you're getting?

    Hi Robert, it seems the value does not get stored in declared variable.



    I have stored it in  var_DatasetName  variable.



     i am calling below function



    Function DatasetConfigure(ProjectSuite.Variable.var_DatasetName)  but it does not performing the action.

    Instead if i gave actual value of the Object name, instead of variable, it performing the action.



    So what it the issues.



    .Value() option is not there. I have tried it with .Get_Text() still it is not working ?



    Is there any problem with Variable Data Type. I am capturing run time text value displayed  from the text box. The value displayed is 'Dataset4'



    I declared the type as String. Is it correct ? Or any other type ?

    Oh God got it !.While passing the variable value I am directly putting it , instead of variable.That why prevoously it showing "ProjectSuite.variables.var_DatasetName"



    But then i correct my mistake. Removing Double quote of the value solved my problem :)
